Do chemicals cause albinism?
albinism is a genetic condition where the body does not produce melanin pigment.
Can exposure to ideal environmental conditions like light and nutrients reverse the genetic trait Albinism?
No, albinism is an irreversible condition.
What condition causes white bangs to occur naturally?
Albinism
How is the condition of albinism?
that is lack of pigmentation on the skin (melanin). for more information visit the related links box below for the wikipedia article on albinism

melanin or eumelanin
What is the skin condition resulting from the destruction of the melanocytes due to unknown causes?
Vitiligovitiligovitiligo
Where can you get melanin?
is formed as part of the process of metabolizing an amino acid called tyrosine. In the skin, melanin is formed by cells called melanocytes. Certain medical conditions, such as albinism, are associated with the lack of melanin.
Why does albinism exist?
I think albinism still exists I have heard of some cases about it. Albinism is an inherited condition that is present at birth. Read more at: http://www.answers.com/topic/albinism == Albinism results from the inheritance of recessive alleles. The condition is known to affect mammals (including humans), fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians. The principal gene which results in albinism prevents the body from making the usual amounts of the pigment melanin. Most forms of albinism are the result of the biological inheritance of genetically recessive genes that are passed on from both parents, although some rare forms are inherited from only one parent.
Is there melanin in melanocytes?
Melanocytes produce melanin.
What is a condition that is shown only when two recessive alleles are present?
Recessive trait...
What is a person whose skin has no pigment?
Albinism is the congenital absence of melanin in the dermis. 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.
