a: recessive trait ~
b: a gene that doesn’t show up very often

What:

"A recessive trait is like a gene that doesn't show up very often. So, since albinism is a recessive trait, that means albinos are rare. And even if both parents carry the right gene(s), not all their offspring will be albino, only one in a few. That is another reason why albinos are so rare."
