Answer:

Melanin will not be produced and this will  result in albinism.

Explanation:

Albinism can be described as a condition which arises when there is little or no melanin production in an individual's body. It is considered to be an inherited disorder. This kind of disorder mostly occurs when mutations terminate the working of the enzyme tyrosinase. This enzyme is involved in the synthesis of melanin from the amino acid tyrosine. Hence, the termination of this enzyme will lead to the termination of melanin production.

A male deer (stag) has long and heavy antlers while the female (doe) does not, Explain the purpose of this genetic variation and
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Antlers are generally only found on male deer in other species of deer. Females with higher-than-normal testosterone levels, on the other hand, can grow antlers.

<h3>Why Do Deer Grow Antlers?</h3>

Antlers are grown by male deer to lure female deer for mating. Females will be shown a display as the antlers are developing during mating season, with each male attempting to become the most dominating.

Deer utilize their antlers to protect themselves from predators and other deer. When deer attack each other, their antlers might lock together, forcing the deer to starve to death.
