how are albino iguanas made?

Answer 1

The word "albino" means the gene for creating one or more of the pigments that create color in the skin are not working. Iguanas have pigments of yellow, blue, white, and black in their skin. Yellow & blue are the most obvious in Green Iguanas (Iguana iguana), they combine to give them that green coloring that inspired their common name. If the yellow pigment is missing you get a "blue" iguana, which isn't strictly blue but is noticably more blue-toned than a regular iguana. If the blue pigment is missing you get a yellow-toned iguana. If the black is missing the green coloring will be more intense, and if the white pigment is missing it will be a darker tone over all. And if black, yellow and blue are all missing you'd get a white iguana, but I've never seen one (which doesn't mean they don't exist, only that I've let my subscription to Reptiles magazine expire).

Answer 2

Albinism is a simple recessive genetic mutation,
Simple recessive traits are proven, inheritable genes that are only visible in their homozygous form. When a homozygous animal is bred to a wild type (normal), non-gene-carrying animal, all of their resulting offspring will be normal in appearance, but will carry the gene from the homozygous parent. This is due to a mutated allele being passed on from the homozygous parent to the offspring, and a normal allele being passed on by the wild type parent. Since the two alleles are different, they dictate that the offspring's phenotype will be normal, while their genotype is heterozygous. These offspring are known as "heterozygous" or simply "hets." To reiterate, the offspring carry a genetic code for the mutation but are not visibly different from a normal, or wild type, animal.

Answer 3

It's just basically a genetic defect.
