The allele for albinism is present at a lower frequency because it is not adaptive for most of the environments where humans live.

What is an allele?

An allele is a gene variant that confers a certain fitness to an individual depending on the environment where this organism lives.

  • Adaptive alleles are in high frequency because they confer an adaptive advantage.
  • Non-adaptive alleles are present in low frequency because they do not confer an advantage.

In conclusion, the allele for albinism is present at a lower frequency because it is not adaptive.
