Answer 2

Albino = a pigmentless "white" phenotype determined by a mutation in a gene coding for a pigment synthesizing enzyme. Albinism is a rare condition usually inherited in an autosomal recessive Mendelian pattern in many animals including humans. The white phenotype is the result of the body;s inability to make melanin. In humans, the albino coloration is the most obvious in the skin, hair, & retina. Albinos are generally homozygous recessive "aa" with white skin & hair and pink eye pupils (this is due to the unmasking of the red hemoglobin pigment in the blood vessels of the retina).

Answer 3

It is a person who has one of the conditions where the skin and hair do not contain the normal amount of pigment. The eyes are also frequently involved, with pigment lacking in the retina and in the iris. Many albinos are visually impaired.

Albinism can be inherited recessively, that is, via unaffected parents. Other forms of albinism are dominently inherited, in other words, a parent has the condition, too.

Albinism affects many other animal species from white bengal tigers to snakes to whales. Ever read Moby Dick?
