FIGURE 25.1 The albino phenotype in a human and a wildebeest. Genes-Traits Certain enzymes (encoded by genes) are necessary for the production of pigment. A homozygote with two defective alleles in one of these pigmentation genes exhibits an albino phenotype. This phenotype can occur in humans and other animals.

Immune Disorders

The collaboration between the cells and proteins that work together as a defense system against infection comprises the immune system.Each of them performs a variety of tasks to recognize and/or react against a foreign body.
