Why albinism is recessive disease?
Albinism is a genetic trait that causes the body not to produce melanin normally... Melanin is a pigment that's responsible for the darker colors like brown, tan, black in our skin and hair... As you said it's recessive... this is because in order for an individual to be an albino they have to have inherited 2 copies of the recessive, albino causing gene (aa). If they only inherit one (Aa) they will still produce melanin normally, so their skin and hair will be fully pigmented.

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.
