How can a gene determine whether a person has albinism (give a molecular

The TYR gene is responsible for the production of the enzyme tyrosinase which is crucial in the production of melanin which is primarily responsible for skin pigmentation and for pigmentation of other organs. In albinism, there is mutation of the TYR gene therefore there will be no transcription of DNA to mRNA and no translation of mRNA to the enzyme tyrosinase leading to its deficiency. The deficiency of tyrosinase will eventually lead to the absence of melanin and ultimately, the absence of pigmentation in an organism.

The answer is magnitude measures the effects of an earthquake on the area , while the intensity measures the strength of an earthquake.

Pro insulin undergoes extensive posttranslational modification along the production pathway .
