People who have blue eyes are traced back to the same ancestors. Surprisingly, everyone with blue eyes inherited the same "switch" in the same spot in there DNA.]]> 2018-02-09 23:07:13 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_gordon/2b4ow0s2ypsj/wish/230226233 katherine_gordon https://padlet.com/katherine_gordon/2b4ow0s2ypsj/wish/230805053 The amount of melanin determines your eye color. There is no individual pigment for each color of eyes. The more melanin there is in the iris the darker the eyes, brown eyes are more dominant thus meaning that blue eyes are rare. ]]> 2018-02-12 20:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_gordon/2b4ow0s2ypsj/wish/230805053 katherine_gordon https://padlet.com/katherine_gordon/2b4ow0s2ypsj/wish/230808619 Blue eyed humans are more susceptible toward getting UV damage. Eyes that are hazel, green, or brown have more melanin that protect the eyes from any light damage. People with blue eyes also can have better night vision because they can sense the light better than darker eyed people.]]> 2018-02-12 20:07:35 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_gordon/2b4ow0s2ypsj/wish/230808619 katherine_gordon https://padlet.com/katherine_gordon/2b4ow0s2ypsj/wish/230810843 2018-02-12 20:11:42 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_gordon/2b4ow0s2ypsj/wish/230810843 katherine_gordon https://padlet.com/katherine_gordon/2b4ow0s2ypsj/wish/230812908 Since there is either little or no melanin in the eyes, light goes straight through the eye. As it hits the iris it reflects out, light goes through the stroma. The presence of proteins causes the blue light to scatter, making the eyes appear blue. This is also why the sky looks blue.]]> 2018-02-12 20:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_gordon/2b4ow0s2ypsj/wish/230812908
