Eye colour
MODEL RELEASED. Eye colour. Boy with brown eyes and boy with blue eyes side by side. Eye colour is an inherited trait influenced by more than one gene (polygenic). It is determined by the amount and type of pigments present in the eyes iris. It was once thought that brown was always dominant and blue recessive, though the fact that two blue-eyed parents can give birth to a brown-eyed child has shown that determination of eye colour does not follow the rules of Mendelian inheritance

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the fascinating diversity of eye colors. The image features two young boys, one with mesmerizing brown eyes and the other with striking blue eyes, standing side by side. It serves as a reminder that eye color is not simply determined by a single gene but rather influenced by multiple genes (polygenic). Traditionally, it was believed that brown eyes were always dominant while blue eyes were recessive. However, this photograph challenges that notion as it highlights the possibility of two blue-eyed parents giving birth to a child with brown eyes. This demonstrates that the determination of eye color does not adhere strictly to Mendelian inheritance rules. The intricate biology behind eye color lies within the amount and type of pigments present in the iris. Melanin plays a crucial role in determining these pigments, ultimately influencing phenotypic expression or outward appearance. Beyond its scientific significance, this image also captures an endearing moment between two friends. Their close proximity allows us to appreciate their unique facial features and individuality. In summary, this thought-provoking print beautifully encapsulates both the biological complexity and human connection associated with eye color genetics.
