An Autosomal recessive pattern is one in which certain genes of the X sex chromosome are turned off, autosomal is in reference to the X chromosome and the fact that the genes are turned off is indicated by the recessive. So in the case of Albinism the pigmentation genes in the X chromosome are turned off causing the various side effects.
What else can I help you with?
Is albinism a dominant or recessive trait?
Albinism is a recessive trait.
What is the genotype of an individual with albinism?
I think no. It's caused by a recessive gene so if a person has albinism their genotype can only be recessive, recessive ---> AA (small a small a or whatever you call it). No other genotype will mean that person has Albinism, like if it has at least one big A, that means it's just a carrier of albinism.
Is albinism caused by a recessive or dominant gene?
Albinism is typically caused by a recessive gene.
Is albinism a dominat or reccesive trait?
Albinism is a recessive trait which will result in a lack of pigmentation in the skin eyes and hair. It occurs about 1 in every 17,000 people in the U.S.
Albinism is a recessive trait in humans that is controlled by a single gene how many recessive alleles must a person have to have albinism?

Is albinism controlled by a dominant allele or by a recessive allele?
Recessive allele.
Is albinism autosomal?
Albinism is a recessive, autosomal trait. So no, it is not sex-linked.
Albinism is a recessive trait what is the only genotype that would express albinism?
Albinism is expressed only in individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype, represented as "aa." This means that both alleles for the trait must be the recessive form for the characteristic to manifest. Individuals with at least one dominant allele ("AA" or "Aa") will not express albinism.
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.
Is albinism controlled by a dominant allele o recessive allele?
It is controlled by a recessive allele.
What is a condition that is shown only when two recessive alleles are present?
Recessive trait...
Two parents with normal pigmentation give birth to a child with albinism albinism is not a what?
Albinism is not a dominant trait; it is a recessive genetic condition caused by mutations in genes responsible for melanin production. Both parents can be carriers of the recessive allele for albinism, meaning they have normal pigmentation but can pass the allele to their child, resulting in the child having albinism.
