Albinism (from Latin albus, meaning "white") is a lack of pigmentation in the eyes, skin and hair. Albinism 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. The gene which results in albinism prevents the body from making the usual amounts of the pigment melanin. Albinism used to be categorised as Tyrosinase positive or negative. In cases of Tyrosinase positive albinism, the enzyme tyrosinase is present but is unable to enter pigment cells to produce melanin. In tyrosinase negative cases, this enzyme is not produced. This classification has been rendered obsolete by recent research.\n\nAbout 1 in 17,000 people have some type of albinism, although up to 1 in 75 are carriers.\n\nThere are many alterations of genes which are proven to be associated with albinism. All alterations, however, lead to an alteration of the melanin (pigment/coloring) production in the body. Melanin helps protect the skin from ultraviolet light coming from the sun (see human skin color for more information). Organisms with albinism lack this protective pigment in their skin, and can burn easily from exposure to the sun as a result. Lack of melanin in the eye also results in problems with vision unrelated to photosensitivity, which are discussed further below.\n\nThere are two main categories of albinism in humans: oculocutaneous and ocular. In ocular albinism, only the eyes lack pigment. In oculocutaneous pigment is missing from the hair, eyes, and skin. People who have ocular albinism have normal skin/hair color and many have normal eye color. People with oculocutaneous albinism can have no pigment to almost normal. Some may even tan.\n\nThe eyes of a person with albinism occasionally appear red due to the underlying blood vessels showing through where there is not enough pigment to cover them. In humans this is rarely the case, as a human eye is quite large and thus produces enough pigment to lend opacity to the eye. However, there are cases in which the eyes appear red or purple, depending on the amount of pigment present.\n\nPeople with albinism are generally as healthy as the rest of their species, with growth and development occurring as normal. Many animals with albinism, however, lose their protective camouflage and are unable to conceal themselves from their predators or prey. The survivability rate of animals with albinism in the wild is usually quite low. The largest problem people with albinism face is social, as the condition is sometimes a source of teasing during adolescent years.\n\nAs albinism is a recessive gene, the chance of offspring with albinism resulting from the pairing of a creature with albinism with a creature without albinism is very low and is discussed below.

One of my dearest friends in h.s. was mixed.  The word we gave her?  Special.  Unique.  The color of your skin is just that - a color.  It has nothing to do w/ who you are inside where it counts.

lol, i can't believe you're asking this, but it means the color of women, or man's hair matches the color of the pubic hair.

Mestizo. (Mixed European- White and American Indian.) It's not technically a race, but it tells who they are genetically.

It is a real word it means 'not mixed'.\nIt is quite a badly written sentance though.

Simply;\nPhenotype means that how you look like:)\nGenotype means that how your DNA look like:)\nMore official;\nGenotype refers to the genetic make-up of an organism or a virus.\nAnd the official mean of this term;\nThe entire genetic identity of an individual, including alleles, or gene forms, that do not show as outward characteristics

Well, I don't like the term "coloured" for people that have dark skin. It's rude and it's wrong. Then what does that make me, clear? Invsible? Why do we have to pay so much attention to people's skin colour? Why can't we see people as people? We all breath, bleed and breed the same ways. I don't see a difference. I just see people.

In animals at least, I believe the term is simply "partial-albino".

Albino or Snowy - depending on the circumstances!

No. And, an organization that watches out for the interests of albinos asked them not to use the stereotype (the hair, red eyes, etc.)

Yes they do. Everyone does. Angels mentioned in the Bible are albinos. Jesus was an albino. Revelation 1;14

Basically, it's the degree of brightness of a star.\n\nThe websites below might be able to help you with your question.

Light greys and blues are considered calming colors, and thus, they put them with autism. A little dumb, but true.

Oh it means laughing out loud, lol, I did the same thing and asked loads of mean people on the web what it meant and got loads of abuse, it baffled my head for ages,

Anyway here is some more info.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albinism

my own understanding to this is - and i might be wrong - it has an affect. i based this on Albinos, they lack pegimintation (melinen) in their skin and eyes (which gives them pink or red eye colour) and they have major eye-sight problems and sun can affect them alot. so i would assume the less pigement u have (i.e. blue) the greater affect u will have by sun (even if it is very little) but surely there is a difference.

It has to do with an audience relating to chracters. Idealy, you want the audience to identify with the hero(s) or good guys so they throw their support behind them. Ablino's already look different from the start and therefore provide an easy means of distinction between them and the viewer. Also, because an albino does look different, its provides an easy backstory to why that person is a villian, ie: they were constantly made fun or in otherways preducated aginsts.
