<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">SKIN COLOUR GENETICS further to our discussions in class...</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #515a75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
There are at least three ways people can end up with different skin color. One way is if people make less pigment. Less pigment = lighter skin.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #515a75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Another way is when people have fewer melanocytes. Fewer melanocytes mean less pigment overall and so lighter skin.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #515a75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
The third way has to do with the kind of pigment someone makes. There are two types of melanin. Eumelanin is black or brown pigment and pheomelanin is red or yellow pigment.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #515a75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
People who make lots of pheomelanin tend to have lighter skin, often because of freckling. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #515a75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Melanocytes are usually spread pretty evenly in the skin. So when freckles form, some spots of the skin have lots of melanocytes (freckles) and other spots have few or none. Where there are no melanocytes, the skin is very fair.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #515a75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Skin Color Genes</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #515a75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Scientists have figured out that several genes are involved in skin color. One of these genes is the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #515a75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
When MC1R is working well, it has melanocytes convert pheomelanin into eumelanin. If it's not working well, then pheomelanin builds up.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #515a75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Most people with red hair and/or very fair skin have versions of the MC1R gene that don't work well. This means they end up with lots of pheomelanin, which leads to lighter skin. </div>

2. Free Nucleotides come in and pair with the exposed nucleotides with the help of the enzyme DNA Polymerase.</div>
<div>
3. Note the nucleotides join with complimentary base pairs (shown above).</div>
