Albino is a rare condition that causes color not to appear in people. You would be albino if your hair and eyebrows were an off white, you were very pale, and in some cases got sunburned easily. If you are concerned for whatever reason, ask someone like your parents or loved one.

∙ 12y agoNo, albinism is recessive so you don't tend to see it often in people. As the gene has to be passed down somehow. Normal skin is dominant, but albinism is just as valid.

Which types of mutation can be add genes to a chromosome?
A deletion mutation can take genes away from a chromosome.
Sometimes genes are damaged or are copied incorrectly resulting in faulty?
A mutation.
Which types of mutation affects more genes a gene mutation or a chromosomal?
a gene is passed on from generations and a chromosome is just found in certain cells
What is a non polar mutation?
a mutation in a gene that does not affect the downstream genes in an operon. ie. a polar mutation is one that DOES affect the transcription or translation of genes in the same operon downstream of your gene of interest.
How does pseudo genes contribute to evolutionary theory?
Left over information that can become a mutation which is how genes evolve
Albinos have the same number of what as non-albinos?
Albinos have the same number of chromosomes as non-albinos. It is a genetically recessive trait or mutation, not the result of too many or too few chromosomes.
How were albinos formed?
albinos are formed when two sexs make a baby while female is in pyriods
Which types of mutation can be add genes to a chromosome?
A deletion mutation can take genes away from a chromosome.
Is the source of brand new genes in a population called mutation?
Yes, brand new genes can only come from mutation.
Sometimes genes are damaged or are copied incorrectly resulting in faulty?
A mutation.
Which types of mutation affects more genes a gene mutation or a chromosomal?
a gene is passed on from generations and a chromosome is just found in certain cells
How does different genes happen?
New genes appear in individuals by random mutation.
What is a non polar mutation?
a mutation in a gene that does not affect the downstream genes in an operon. ie. a polar mutation is one that DOES affect the transcription or translation of genes in the same operon downstream of your gene of interest.
How genes are formed?
genes are formed when a man and a woman make looove and a baby is formed thefore its genes are formed
What mutation causes a reshuffling of genes in existence?
Reshuffling of genesis caused by crossing over and not by mutation .
Why are the white tigers white?
It is a mutation of genetic genes.
What is the most common mutation to genes?
p53 gene..approximately 50% of human cancers involve this mutation.
