What is Blue eyes mutation?
Before we get into details of how this genetic mutation occurred, let's first understand how eye color is determined. The color of our eyes is due to the accumulation of melanin in the iris, the structure surrounding the pupil.
Melanin is the pigment that gives color to skin, hair, and eyes of humans.
Specialized cells that produce melanin are called melanocytes, which are stored inside cells in places called melanosomes. Melanin production depends on the activity of the a protein called, P protein. P protein is responsible for giving colors. It is a key element in the production of melanin. The more the amount of melanin will be in the eyes, the eyes will be resultantly darker in color. If you have high melanin, you'll have brown eyes. If you have a moderate amount of melanin, you'll have green or hazel eyes. If you have little or no melanin, you'll have blue eyes.
Sounds interesting, right ?
