How do animals become albinos?In: Animal Life |
[Edit] |
Albino animals
The term albino means an animal completely lacking in pigmentation, it has no color whatsoever; its fur is pure white, and its eyes are opaque, although the blood seen through the eyes gives them a pink appearance. Geneticists have discovered many genes which produce a 'white' animal, and only one gene that produces the true albino.
This happens when the ancestors of the albino have stayed indoors or underground. The lack of sunlight had been known to make the offspring albino.
