Document Summary
The form of albinism found in the hopis is most likely oculocutaneous albinism type 2, due to a defect in the. Question 25: the type of albinism that arises with high frequency among hopi native americans is most likely oculocutaneous albinism type 2, due to a defect in the oca2 gene on chromosome 15. Determine how the phenotype of this albinism differs from phenotype of other forms of albinism in humans and which genes take part. 1. 1 genetics is important to us individually, to society, and to the study of. Expanded food production throughout the world in 1950s and 1960s. Relied heavily on the application of genetics. Food production worldwide constitute a significant proportion of genetically engineered corn, soybeans, and other crops. Pharmaceutical industry: numerous drugs and food additives are synthesized by fungi and bacteria that have been genetically manipulated to make them efficient producers of these substances.
