After twelve weeks into their pregnancy, the parents decide to conduct a test to see if their child possesses any mutations or birth defects. doctor completed an amniocentesis by removing cells from the placenta to test the dna for any abnormalities. they found that the baby had inherited the gene for albinism.
albinism is a disorder that affects many different species of vertebrates. t is characterized by the inability to produce the pigment melanin. albino are easily recognizable by their pale skin, whiteblond hair, and pink eyes. albinism is caused by the absence of or a mutation in gene in the pigment-producing region of chromosome. the sequence of bases that make up the dna molecule are essential for the creation of proteins like melanin. any alteration in the dna sequence is known in albino individuals. this inability to create certain proteins is expressed in the phenotype of the individual.
make a claim supported by evidence that explains how the structure of dna is responsible for the production of the albinism trait.
