will albino ever have melanin?

Answer 1

NO

If they did they wouldn't be Albino would they

Answer 2

No. This condition is caused by a resesive gene that 1 in 70 people carry. Only 1 in 20,000 people is albino as you need to get the gene from both parents. If two albinos were to marry they would only have albino children

Answer 3

Albinism (from Latin albus, meaning "white") is a lack of pigmentation in the eyes, skin and/or hair. Albinism is an inherited condition resulting from the combination of recessive alleles passed from both parents of an individual. This condition is known to affect mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. While the most common term for an individual affected by albinism is "albino", some prefer "person with albinism", because "albino" is sometimes used in a derogatory way. The gene which results in albinism prevents the body from making the usual amounts of the pigment melanin. Albinism used to be categorised as Tyrosinase positive or negative. In cases of Tyrosinase positive albinism, the enzyme tyrosinase is present. The pigment cells are unable to produce melanin for any one of a variety of reasons that do not directly involve the tyrosinase enzyme. In tyrosinase negative cases, either the tyrosinase enzyme is not produced or a nonfunctional version is produced. This classification has been rendered obsolete by recent research.

About everyone has some type of albinism, although up to 1 in 75 are carriers.

There are many alterations of genes which are proven to be associated with albinism. All alterations, however, lead to an alteration of the melanin (pigment/coloring) production in the body. Melanin helps protect the skin from ultraviolet light coming from the sun (see human skin color for more information). Organisms with albinism lack this protective pigment in their skin, and can burn easily from exposure to the sun as a result. Lack of melanin in the eye also results in problems with vision unrelated to photosensitivity, which are discussed further below.

There are two main categories of albinism in humans: oculocutaneous and ocular. In oculocutaneous albinism, pigment is missing from the hair, eyes, and skin. In ocular albinism, only the eyes lack pigment. People with oculocutaneous albinism can have no pigment to almost normal. Some may even tan. People who have ocular albinism have normal skin/hair color and many have normal eye color.

The eyes of an animal with albinism occasionally appear red due to the underlying blood vessels showing through where there is not enough pigment to cover them. In humans this is rarely the case, as a human eye is quite large and thus produces enough pigment to lend opacity to the eye. However, there are cases in which the eyes of an albino person appear red or purple, depending on the amount of pigment present.

People with albinism are generally as healthy as the rest of their species, with growth and development occurring as normal. Many animals with albinism, however, lose their protective camouflage and are unable to conceal themselves from their predators or prey. The survival rate of animals with albinism in the wild is usually quite low. The main problem that people with albinism face is social, as the condition is sometimes a source of teasing during adolescent years.

As albinism is a recessive gene, the chance of offspring with albinism resulting from the pairing of a creature with albinism with a creature without albinism is very low and is discussed below.

depend the kind of albino............

Answer 4

No, an albino is an albino all of his/her life.

Answer 5

no, and, is that some kind of a problem for you?

Why?

Most of us love the person, not the hair, the eyes, the skin... that is so stupid, and you might miss seeing the real glory of others...

Answer 6

No it's the lack thereof...

Answer 7

no,never
