The sizes of melanin particles differ among individuals and the number and size of these particles are what ultimately determines skin colour. More than 6 different genes code for this…

Albinism is a skin disease that’s caused by little to no production of melanin. This disorder can affect vison, skin, hair and the person’s ability to tan. Certain genes in our body are responsible for making proteins that are involved in making melanin, which is produced by cells called melanocytes. Albinism is caused when a mutation occurs in one of these genes. It’s also caused by recessive inheritance. This means that a person has to inherit two copies of one mutated gene- one from each…
