Albinism affects the coloring or pigmentation of the skin, hair, and eyes. Affected individuals typically have very fair skin and white or light-colored hair. Albinism also reduces pigmentation in the eye, resulting in vision problems and increased sensitivity to light. Albinism can result from mutations in several genes that are involved in the production of melanin, which reduces pigmentation in the skin, hair, and eyes. Albinism is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Read the passage carefully. Predict whether the mutation is positive, negative, or neutral for animals in the wild, and why.
