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>

if a parent cell starts with 22 chromosomes how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after mitosis
salantis [7]

For mitosis, the DNA content of the daughter cells and the mother cell will always be identical. Since the number of cells have doubled, so has the DNA. The 16 chromosomes in the mother cell will be duplicated, then the duplicates split and evenly divided into the daughter cells. The 16 chromosomes in each daughter cell will be non-duplicated at first.
