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>

ra1l [238]
The mission that is planned to further investigate the Moon is B. Exploration Mission 2. Although it wasn't originally planned to go to the Moon, but rather an asteroid in the lunar orbit, it was repurposed for this cause. 
InSight will investigate Mars, MIRI doesn't exist (it is an episode of Star Trek), and Europa Clipper will investigate Jupiter's moon Europa.

Can you explain how more life forms were able to be created because of cyanobacteria
patriot [66]

Cyanobacteria play an important role in the biosphere by converting atmospheric nitrogen into mineral nitrogen directly assimilated by other organisms. This capacity is of fundamental importance in coral reefs where nutrients are scarce.

Moreover, Cyanobacteria are the micro-organisms of choice for humans in various branches of biotechnology because of the many families of molecules that they produce and which have an interest in valorization.
