Answer 2

Albinism is caused by a genetic mutation in organisms. There could be two parents who have the regular number of cellular reproduction but still develop or produce an offspring that has this genetic anomaly. Albinism is caused by a defect in the melanin production of skin cells in organisms which causes little or no color on the pigments of the skin, hair, and eyes of affected organisms.
