	Albinism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vision aside, albinos are generally as healthy as the rest of their species, with growth and development occurring as normal.
		While an albino may suffer from a standard eye affliction (astigmatism, near-sightedness, etc), the general problem arises from a poorly-developed retina and abnormal nerve connections between the eyes and brain.
		Although surgery is possible on the ocular muscles, effectively simulating (to a limited degree) the improvements in the albino's vision that often come with age, the gain is generally thought to be out-weighed by the trauma.

	ALBINO - LoveToKnow Article on ALBINO
		For it is to be expected a priori that, since albinoes were derived from pigmented progenitors and may at any time appear, side by side with pigmented brothers, in a litter from pigmented parents, they would be carrying the pattern determinants of some one or other of their pigmented ancestors.
		But W. Haacke has described a single albino rat, in which he states that the hairs of the shoulder and mid-dorsal regions were of a different texture from those of the rest of the body.
		He was able by appropriate experiments to demonstrate that when an albino is derived (extracted) from a colored ancestry, and is then crossed with a colored individual, both the color of the pigmented parent and of the pigmented ancestry of the albino may appear among the individuals of the offspring.

	Albino (chess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An Albino is a chess problem in which, at some stage in the solution, a white pawn standing on its starting square makes each of its four possible moves: one square forward, two squares forward, capture to the left and capture to the right.
		The nature of the Albino theme is such that in orthodox chess there must be at least four variations to show the four different moves of the white pawn.
		However, if the rules of circe chess are applied, the number of required variations can be reduced to two (circe is a chess variant in which captured pieces, rather than being removed from the board, are returned to their home squares).

		Albino seedlings of Alaskan white spruce, aspen, birch and balsam poplar have been found, as have albino root suckers from aspen and fireweed plants.
		Albino seedlings probably result from the combination in the seed of genes that were recessive in the parent plants.
		The albino root suckers are thought to develop from mutation in a single cell or in a group of cells, because the rest of the plant from which the albino stem grows can be normal.

		Albino: Among the questions most often asked are "What causes some deer to be albinos?" "How common are they?" "Are they protected?" and "Can they reproduce?" Albinism is a recessive trait found in mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and even plants.
		The eyes of an albino are pink, because blood vessels behind the lenses show through the unpigmented irises.
		Perhaps that is why albinos are rare.Because albinism is a recessive trait, both parents must carry the gene before it can occur in their offspring.

		Some forms of albino are temperature dependent, for example the Siamese cat has a form of albinism where pigmentation develops on cooler areas of the body (the head, tail and legs) but is inhibited on the warmer parts of the body.
		Tyrosinase-negative albinos lack tyrosinase (an enzyme which synthesises melanin) in their cells; this usually produces a pale yellowish or cream animal with pink-eyes.
		It is not an albino as it has normal colour eyes, dark paw-pads and dark markings on the jowls and tail.

	Banding The Albino Hummingbird (Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Archilochus colubris) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Much rarer is the true albino that has no melanin at all; its feathers are pure white and its light-colored eyes, feet, and bill appear pinkish because the absence of fl pigment allows red hemoglobin to show through.
		From this we could conclude that the albino hummer hatched in 2003 and--based on the complete lack of wear in the delicate wing and tail feathers--we believe the bird was produced locally and that Becky saw it at her feeder very soon after it fledged from its nest.
		We suspect an albino's white feathers wear out too quickly to allow a full migration, that predators easily home in on white hummers, or that these aberrant birds have a complement of genetic defects that limit their survival.

	Dr John Pilkington answers questions on Genetics
		In the case of the hen, since her sex chromosome pair are made of one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, she has the XY genotype and for a hen to appear as a visual Albino, she must have the XiY genotype.
		Further, Albinos prefer lower light levels because there is no pigmentation in the eyes, thus the amount of light entering the eye cannot be controlled by the iris, as in the normal eye.
		However, in the protected environment of a bird room, the level of UV light is considerably less than in the open of the Australian bush, and so Albinos in captivity, unless forced to remain in the unprotected outdoors, show no ill-effects from their genetic condition.
