Use the word albinism in a sentence?
Albinism is a congenital disorder.
Is albinism heterozygous or homozygous?
genetically albinism is an autosomal recessive gene which in fact gives the child a 25% chance of inheriting the gene if both parents are carriers

Albinism is a recessively inherited disease. People with albinism has inherited 2 albinism genes. They got one gene from each parent.
Who was the founder of albinism?

2
Is albinism a recessive trait or dominant?
Recessive. The trait will only show up if both parents have the gene recessively (aa). If the genetic make up is Aa or AA, there will be melanin production, meaning albinism is an aa gene only. Albinism is a recessive allele.
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene which if any will have the disorder?
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene, offspring will only have the disorder if both parents have the recessive gene.
Is sickle cell a one gene disorder?
No, it's not a one gene disorder
Is chromosomal abnormality in albinism?
yes it is. It affects chromosome 11.
