Can a male be carrier for albinism?

Yes, a male can be a carrier for albinism.

Albinism is an autosomal recessive genetic condition, which means that both copies of the gene responsible for producing the pigment melanin must be mutated in order for the condition to be expressed.

Males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.

- In order for a female to have albinism, she must inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent.

- For a male to have albinism, he must inherit one copy of the mutated gene from his mother and one copy of the normal gene from his father.

- If a male inherits one copy of the mutated gene and one copy of the normal gene, he will be a carrier for albinism. This means that he will not have albinism himself, but he can pass the mutated gene on to his children.

Therefore, a male can be a carrier for albinism if he has one copy of the mutated gene and one copy of the normal gene.
