Question

Why our eyes are of different colors?


Open in App
Solution

Reason:

  1. The amount of the pigment melanin in the iris—the colored region of the eyes determines the color of the eyes.
  2. The darker the eyes are, the more pigment is contained.
  3. As blue, gray, and green eyes contain lower melanin in the iris, they are lighter.
