Albinism is a recessive trait characterized by an absence of pigment melanin responsible for skin and hair color. Actually, albinism is caused by a defect in gene for enzyme which synthesizes melanin. The central dogma of molecular biology explains that the sequence of DNA specifies the sequence of mRNA, which, further, specifies codes for the sequence of proteins. Since a gene is a segment of DNA, altered gene will cause altered mRNA which will cause altered protein. Thus, <span>defect in gene for enzyme which synthesizes melanin will cause the absence of melanin and consequently, albinism.</span>

What is the process the does not require oxygen?
erastova [34]

Answer:

The process that does not require oxygen is fermentation.

Explanation:

Fermentation is an alternative route of cellular respiration for obtaining energy, in the absence of oxygen. In aerobic respiration, oxygen is the acceptor of electrons from NADH but, in anaerobic respiration, the electron acceptor is an organic compound.

The fermentation process does not occur in the mitochondria nor does it involve the electron transport chain, and has a low energy yield at the end of the process.

With respect to the other options:

  • <em>The </em><em><u>electron transport chain</u></em><em> and the </em><em><u>Krebs cycle</u></em><em> occur in the presence of oxygen.</em>
