The danger of being an albino is that the skin of an albino has no protection against sunburn, and can burn very easily and very severely if exposed to sunlight.

What conditions would be necessary for the albino allele to be more frequent?

For the albino allele to be more frequent in a population, there needs to be a higher rate of genetic drift or a selective advantage associated with the albino phenotype. Additionally, reduced fitness of individuals with the normal pigmentation allele could also contribute to the increased frequency of the albino allele.


What colour is an albino animal?

An albino animal will have white fur and red eyes.


Are you albino?

Being albino only means a lack of pigment in skin, fur, and other parts of the body. An albino animal will have red irises in their eyes, as that's the lowest energy lightform there is, and is therefore easier to reflect. Any animal or person can be albino, as it is just a genetic malfunction.


A male and female bison that are both heterozygous for normal skin pigmentation produce an albino offspring Which of Mendels principles explain why the offspring is albino?

Both parents would each have one dominant gene for normal pigmintation and each would have one recessive albino gene. Say P is the dominant gene and q is the albino gene. Then the parents genotype would both be Pq. Below is a Punnet Square. The child's genotype is qq P q ------------------------------------- P / PP / Pq (carrier) / / / / ///////////////////////////////////////// q / Pq (carrier) / qq (albino) / / / / ////////////////////////////////////////


Are the parents of a albino plant homozygous or heterozygous?

The parents of an albino plant are likely to be heterozygous for the gene controlling albinism. This means they carry one normal allele and one albino allele. When these two alleles combine in the offspring, it results in the expression of the albino trait.

If an albino and an African American have a baby will it look white caucasian?

No. Genetics is not like mixing paint. Albinism is a genetic mutation that results in a deficiency of pigmnetation in all body structures. Skin color in normal (non-albino) humans is driven by the density of the pigment melanin. Any human from any race can have the albino mutation. In fact, it is most common in male africans. If an albino mates with any normal human, the child will inherit some of the racial features of one parent and some from the other. If both the albino and the non-albino are of the same race, the child will look like that same race.

Are albino poodles more expensive than other poodles?

It is a basic rule of biology that an albino can occur in nearly any species including Human and many animals. Albino Poodles exist. they are very rare, and would have a hefty price tag. They might also suffer from visual problems, as do their human counterparts.I imagine they would be a beautiful dog, but have certain quirks.
