In humans, the presence of black eye pigment suppresses the presence of brown eye pigment. What can you conclude from this statement?

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

Three main elements within the iris contribute to its color: the melanin content of the iris pigment epithelium, the melanin content within the iris stroma, and the cellular density of the iris stroma.In eyes of all colors, the iris pigment epithelium contains the black pigment, eumelanin.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the allele for black eye pigment is dominant to the allele for brown eye pigment, and both alleles are variations of the same gene. ...is this the answer?

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

yes correct! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

black is dominant and brown is recessive
