1. albinism
the genetically inherited condition in which there is a marked deficiency of pigmentation in skin, hair, and eyes. An individual with these traits is an "albino." Since the gene for albinism is recessive, it only shows up in the phenotype of homozygous recessive people. This is apleiotropic trait.
2. alleles
alternate forms or varieties of agene. The alleles for a trait occupy the same locus or position onhomologous chromosomesand thus govern the same trait. However, because they are different, their action may result in different expressions of that trait.
3. amino acids
small molecules that are the components ofproteins. There are 20 different kinds of amino acids in living things. Proteins are composed of different combinations of amino acids assembled in chain-like molecules. Amino acids are primarily composed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
4. Angelman syndrome
a rare genetically inherited form of mental retardation due to the deletion or inactivation of specific genes on chromosome 15. The inheritance of this syndrome is subject togenome imprinting. Children with Angleman syndrome typically also have small heads, experience seizures, have pronounced speech impairment, are hyperactive, and have balance disorders.
