Albinism results from the failure to make the pigment melanin. It is an enzyme-deficiency disease, transmitted as a recessive allele. The metabolic pathway to make melanin has several enzyme-catalyzed steps. In 1952, it was reported that two albino persons had married and had 3 normally pigmented children. How is this explained?
im looking for actual answers and reasoning, not that the wife was cheating. my explanation is that there may be 2 varieties of the recessive gene, such as a1 and a2, and each may code for different enzymes to be produced in the pathway steps.
