Answer:

the connections you can make between albinism in humans and in animals is that animals can appear in white or pink or an animal will have pink eyes, nail, skin/scales while an human will also have nails and skin, the human body can't have scales and a human can't really have pink eyes

Hope this helps :p

Step-by-step explanation:

dont read unless you need some examples...

Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found in your skin, hair and eyes. Albinism is caused by a mutation in one of these genes. Different types of albinism can occur, based mainly on which gene mutation caused the disorder.This genetic condition gets passed to offspring when both parents carry the recessive gene. When albinism is present, the animal can appear white or pink. An animal can be completely albino (pure albino) or have leucism. Pure albino animals will have pink eyes, nails, skin and/or scales.Ocular albinism type 1 is inherited in an X-linked pattern. A condition is considered X-linked if the mutated gene that causes the disorder is located on the X chromosome , one of the two sex chromosomes
