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>

I think Acetic acid will be produced if wine is aerated and inoculated with bacteria of the genera acetobacter and gluconobacter. Acetobacter is a genus of acetic acid bacteria. This bacteria is used for the mass production of Acetic Acid, the main component in vinegar. Gluconobacter is also a genus of the acetic acid bacteria family.

In order for plants and animals to be able to use nitrogen, N2 gas must first be converted to more a chemically available form.
pav-90 [236]

Can you add the picture or describe it to me? Right now I'd guess that it's probably bacteria because bacteria breaks it down into ammonium and nitrate, which is taken up by the plants by a process of nitrogen fixation.  So, D.
