113, 6734. Anatomical terminology. [ edit on Wikidata] An eye is a sensory organ that allows an organism to perceive visual information. It detects light and converts it into electro-chemical impulses in neurons (neurones). It is part of an organism's visual system . In higher organisms, the eye is a complex optical system that collects light ...
Color. Colored pencils. Color ( American English) or colour ( Commonwealth English) is the visual perception based on the electromagnetic spectrum. Though color is not an inherent property of matter, color perception is related to an object's light absorption, reflection, emission spectra and interference.
Eye color is a polygenic trait and is determined by the amount and type of pigments in the eye's iris. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Humans and animals have many phenotypic variations in eye color. [ 3 ] In human eyes , these variations in color are attributed to varying ratios of eumelanin produced by melanocytes in the iris. [ 2 ]
The determination of eye color does not follow the simple rules of Mendelian inheritance which helps partially explain how two brown-eyed parents can give birth to a blue-eyed child. This sentence makes no sense whatsoever, due to the simple fact that the Mendelian model of dominant and recessive genes.
There's a common myth all over the internet that 8%-10% of people internationally have blue or gray eyes. 3% have 'true' gray eyes. 1% have 'true' violet eyes. 2% have green eyes. 5% have amber eyes. 5% have hazel eyes and the rest of the world have typical brown/dark brown. Even though many articles online have relayed these stats, this ...
Green is the color between cyan and yellow on the visible spectrum.It is evoked by light which has a dominant wavelength of roughly 495–570 nm.In subtractive color systems, used in painting and color printing, it is created by a combination of yellow and cyan; in the RGB color model, used on television and computer screens, it is one of the additive primary colors, along with red and blue ...
Color vision. Colorless, green, and red photographic filters as imaged by camera. Color vision, a feature of visual perception, is an ability to perceive differences between light composed of different frequencies independently of light intensity. Color perception is a part of the larger visual system and is mediated by a complex process ...
