Albinism results from mutations in an individual's DNA. Explain how that ultimately results in an non-functional protein. Use all of the terms from your flowchart above in your explanation. Also include locations and any enzymes involved. **TERMS USED: "transcription, translation, amino acid(s), protein, gene, mRNA, tRNA, trait "

Albinism which is a condition characterized by the lack of skin pigment is caused by a mutation in the nucleotide sequence that encodes the melanin protein. However, this mutated gene undergoes TRANSCRIPTION into a mutated mRNA sequence, and subsequently undergoes TRANSLATION into a mutated amino acid sequence.

The amino acid sequence results in a non-functional protein as the nucleotide sequence of the original DNA has been altered. This non-functionality of the mutated protein results in ALBINISM TRAIT.
