many species of animals carry an allele for albinism. albinos are usually pale or whiet in color. explain why the allele for albinism is present at a lower frequency than the allele for having pigments. what conditions would be necessary for the albino allele to be more frequent.
Answered by PsyDAG
Is the albino allele recessive and other pigments dominant?

However, since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "<I>albino allele</I>" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
