This video tutorial explores the genetic disorder albinism, explaining its causes and effects. It delves into the concepts of genotype and phenotype, illustrating how genetic makeup and environmental factors influence traits. The tutorial further discusses homozygous and heterozygous conditions, as well as dominant and recessive alleles, using examples to clarify these genetic principles. Finally, it applies these concepts to solve genetic problems, enhancing understanding of genetic inheritance and expression.
