albino
An organism lacking the pigmentation normal to its kind. The skin and hair of albino animals (including humans) is uncolored while the irises of their eyes appear pink. Albinism, which may be total or only partial, is generally inherited. Albino plants contain no chlorophyll and thus, being unable, to perform photosynthesis, rapidly die.
