:childplease: Recessive traits are simply traits that do not show up as often as the mirrored, doesn't tell shyt about the production of so called traits. So I guess Lebron James' genetics are defective since their recessive in means of athleticism right?

White tigers are white because they have two copies of an extremely rare recessive gene found in Bengal tigers (the gene has never been seen among pure Siberians or other subspecies). A very few white tigers were seen in the wild in the early 20th century. On the face of it, being a white object in the Bengal tigers’ tropical habitat of India and Southeast Asia can’t be good for a predator that needs to be camouflaged.

Other, more subtle problems that go along with the white coat would also prevent white tigers from ever becoming established as a wild population. The mutation (which is not albinism—white tigers can still produce melanin) also causes serious defects. White tigers in captivity tend to have problems with the way that their brains control their eyes and process visual stimulation. The animals are often cross-eyed in one or both eyes, bump into objects, and have trouble understanding spatial relationships when they are young. Animals with defects like these couldn’t survive for long in the wild, even though they have long lives in captivity. Other disorders, such as kidney problems, club feet, and shortened tendons, come from the severe inbreeding required to keep this recessive gene around.

You guys do realize that albinism is a complete lack of melanin of the skin, hair, and eyes and not Caucasian, right? :snoop: As in - there are albinos in every race, even black. That doesn't really need to be explained here, right? :heh:

don't even bother breh :snoop: I've gone round and round with some of these guys who don't understand that the kids of someone with albinism don't end up light skinned.. .they either end up albino themselves or have the pigment of the other parent

it's part of some weird black supremacist thing

:shaq2:Not all cacs do...

Some are just as pale as albinos. and any cacs that have traces of melanin have a person of color in their ancestry.
all cacs have melanin. you all really baffle me sometimes.

Albino's do not have melanin, black albinos or white albinos, neither have melanin.

White people are Homo-Sapiens, a species that has melanin, has nothing to do with having a "person of color" in their ancestry.

Straight? :ohhh:



:merchant:

I don't know about this claim that ALL white folks have melanin, friend.
What about the white people whose skin resembles pig skin?

What percentage of melanin do they have


I'm not tryin to rip on white folks, im just tryin understand.

They don't have as much melanin as people of african descent (obviously) but they still have it, because if you don't have it you'd be an albino and have other problems (like eye sight).

Do NOT listen to his JEW LIES, blackman. He will USE tricknowledgy on YOU. The TRUTH is that Yakub grafted that DEVIL with SPAM. You can LEARN the truth from The Honorable Minister Tariq Nasheed's new payperview special "Melanin For Dummies." It is only $39.99 and if YOU do not SUPPORT that righteous BLACKMAN then you are a c00n.

:wtf:

Dude are you slow/dumb/retarded/trolling or all of the above? I said purposely breeding to produce albinos is fukked up. If you match up a male and female that both carry the defective gene (and neither parent has albinism) there is a one in four chance at each pregnancy that the baby will be born with albinism.

If albinism happens naturally, that's nature; but anyone purposely breeding them by matching up parents with the defective genes is "fukked up genetics"

If 2 albino parents wanted to have a baby the doctor might advice genetic counseling they do with all genetic defects or diseases that can be transferred to the new born
