What does it mean to be albino?

  1. Deficient in muscle

  2. Deficient in pigment

  3. Having excess skin pigment

  4. Having broader features

The correct answer is: Deficient in pigment

Being albino refers to a condition characterized by a deficiency in pigment, particularly melanin, which is responsible for the coloration of the skin, hair, and eyes. Individuals with albinism have little to no production of melanin, leading to a lighter appearance in these areas compared to individuals without the condition. This lack of pigment can also result in increased sensitivity to sunlight and a higher risk of skin cancer due to the lack of protective pigmentation. The other options describe conditions that do not relate to albinism. Muscle deficiency pertains to physical strength and fitness rather than pigmentation, while excess skin pigment would indicate hyperpigmentation, which is the opposite phenomenon of albinism. Broader features refer to physical characteristics that are not associated with pigment levels; therefore, they do not relate to the definition of being albino.
