Normal urine color results from a pigment called urochrome. The actual tint will depend on the concentration or dilution of the urine. The color of urine may not always be normal; B vitamins, for example, turn urine green, and carrot juice can turn it orange.

What are the differences between a normal cat and a cat with the genetic mutation known as "rr"?

A cat with the genetic mutation "rr" has a different coat color than a normal cat. The "rr" mutation causes a lack of pigment in the fur, resulting in a white coat color. This mutation is recessive, meaning both parents must carry the gene for it to be expressed in the offspring. In contrast, a normal cat will have a coat color determined by its dominant genes.


What is the type of mutation that results with a lack of pigment?

The answer is definitely not swine flu. A lack of Melanin, which is is the pigment that gives color to hair and skin, causes Amelanosis, commonly known as albinism.


Why are baby geese yellow?

Baby geese, also known as goslings, are yellow because of a pigment called carotenoids in their down feathers. This pigment gives them their yellow color and helps them blend in with their surroundings for protection.


What are the pigment proteins that transfer electrons and change colors known as?

Pigment proteins that transfer electrons and change colors are known as chromoproteins. These proteins are capable of absorbing and releasing light in different wavelengths, resulting in the change of color.


What human is linked with the color green?

The human red and green photopigments are specified by genes on the long arm of the X chromosome (Xq28). In individuals with normal color vision, the locus was proposed to consist of a single red pigment gene upstream of one or more copies of green pigment genes. The presence of a single red pigment gene in the array was confirmed by demonstration of only one retinal mRNA transcript coding for the red opsin. In individuals with multiple green pigment genes, it is unknown whether all genes are expressed. We analyzed the sequence of red- and green-specific mRNA from retinas of individuals with multiple green pigment genes in comparison with the corresponding genomic DNA sequences. The data showed that only a single green pigment gene is expressed. We therefore suggest that a locus control-like element, already known to be located 3.8 kilobases upstream of the transcription initiation site of the red pigment gene, allows transcription of only a single copy of the green pigment genes, probably the most proximal copy. This finding provides an explanation for the not-infrequent presence of 5' green-red hybrid genes in individuals with normal color vision. Such hybrid genes are usually associated with defective color vision. We suggest that 5' green-red hybrid genes produce defective color vision only when their position in the gene array allows expression in the retinal cone cells.


What causes vitiligo biologically?

Vitiligo medically known as achromia, which means loss of color. Vitiligo is a disorder in which white patches of skin appear on different parts of the body. Vitiligo is more commonly known as leucoderma, which simply means white (leuco) skin (derma), i.e. a skin disorder where it loses its normal coloration. This happens because the cells that make pigment (color) in the skin are destroyed. More information can be found at: http://antivitiligotablets.com
