Its actually more complex than a typical simple black and white mix (referring to color)\n\nAlbinism is a genetic disorder that is quite recessive.  The possibility of the resulting child having the color of black, white or "blended" would depend if the child inherits the albinism. \n\nInheriting the afican parent's albinism depends on the caucasion's popsibilty of passing along albanism as well. \n\nTaking the albinism factor out of the equation and it is safe to say that the offspring of a person with black skin and a person with white skin will result in a blending of the skin colors. \n\nIt is also safe to assume that the offspring will appear to have more of an african-american (black) look as opposed to a caucasion (white) look and would appear to be a child of mixed heritage.

Hi, Mimi.   I found 2 definitions, one short and one longer, so I included them both.  Hope it helps!\n\nSHORT DEFINITION:\n\nIt is a phenomenon exhibited by materials like iron (nickel or cobalt) that become magnetized in a magnetic field and retain their magnetism when the field is removed.\n\n\nLONGER DEFINITION:\n\n\nFerromagnetism is a phenomenon by which a material can exhibit a spontaneous magnetization, and is one of the strongest forms of magnetism. It is responsible for most of the magnetic behavior encountered in everyday life and, along with ferrimagnetism, is the basis for all permanent magnets (as well as the metals that are noticeably attracted to them).

Most certainly not! Where did you hear that?!\n\nColor-blindness is a genetic trait that is carried on the X chromosome. It is purely hereditary.

There are photosynthetic pigments in our eyes that have double bonds but i am not sure what they are called, got to revise some more biology.

-Albinism (from Latin albus, meaning "white") is a lack of pigmentation in the eyes, skin and hair. It is an inherited condition resulting from the combination of recessive alleles passed from both parents of an individual. This condition is known to affect mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. While the most common term for an individual affected by albinism is "albino", some of them prefer "person with albinism", because "albino" is often used in a derogatory way. A humorous compensation for this was the invention of the word "pigmento" for a normally pigmented person.\n\nIf you are asking how they act, its exactly the same as a normal person.  Anyway here is some more info.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albinism

blind spot\n\n\nAnatomy. The small, circular, optically insensitive region in the retina where fibers of the optic nerve emerge from the eyeball. It has no rods or cones. Also called optic disk.\nA part of an area that cannot be directly observed under existing circumstances.\nAn area where radio reception is weak or nonexistent.\nA subject about which one is markedly ignorant or prejudiced: “Of course, all of us . . . have our crotchets and our blind spots. I abhor novels written in the present tense” (Mordecai Richler).

Heterochromic cyclitis is a rare type of inflammation of the coloured tissue in the eye (iris and ciliary body) which in itself is mild but can be associated with occasional sudden rises in the eye pressure, i.e. secondary glaucoma.\n\n\nThere's more info on this site about treatment and so on.

Iridescence is an optical phenomenon characterized as the property of surfaces in which hue changes according to the angle from which the surface is viewed, such as soap bubbles and butterfly wings.\n\nIridescence is caused by multiple reflections from multi-layered, semi-transparent surfaces where the subsequent phase shift and interference of the reflections modulates the incident light (by amplifying or attenuating different frequencies). This process is the functional analog of selective wavelength attenuation as seen with the Fabry-Perot interferometer.\n\nThe word is derived in part from the Greek word iris (pl. irides), meaning "rainbow", which in turn derives from the goddess Iris of Greek mythology, who is the personification of the rainbow and acted as a messenger of the gods.\n\nDictionary definition:\n\nThe visual property of something having a milky brightness, exhibition of rainbowlike colors on a surface. It usually results from interference when light composed of different wavelengths is reflected from the superficial layers of organic or inorganic substances, e.g., minerals, mother-of-pearl, and the feathers of birds. Iridescence greatly enhances the value of certain gems.

microcystic hypochromic anemia. Anemia is related to lowering number of Red blood cells or their function in carrying oxygen in blood stream to the tissues. Microcystic means RBC is smaller is size than normal and hypochromic means the RBCs manifest weak red color under microscopic examination of the blood. These features indicate this type of anemia which is caused due to iron deficiency in body, that in turn it is due to several reasons including prolonged leakage of blood (microscopically in size) from a gastric ulcer or hemorrhoid for a untreated at least for a period of 5 yrs. and it is easily curable by administration of iron supplementation tablets by physician.
