उत्तर

Human skin colour is polygenic: the additive effects of several genes influence melanin production, producing continuous variation. In the simple Mendelian model used for eye colour in basic genetics, a single gene with dominant and recessive alleles gives distinct phenotypes; real human eye colour is more complex and involves multiple genes.
