Question

How do the genes for a defective enzyme that results in albinism compare to the normal enzyme for synthesizing melanin?

Answer 1

Answer:

Albinism is a genetic condition where people don't have the usual pigment (color) in their bodies.

Explanation:

The genes for a defective enzyme results in albinism in the individual as compared to the normal enzyme for synthesizing melanin because albinism occur due to defective enzyme that is responsible for the coloration of the skin while on the other hand, melanin is produced normally in the body if the enzyme is not defective and the skin has normal pigment. Albinism is a genetic condition where people don't have the usual pigment (color) in their bodies. Albinism occurs in individuals due to absence of normal amount of melanin in the body which is a natural skin pigment.
