How the Eye Sees Color - 0 views

  • Color originates in light. Sunlight, as we perceive it, is colorless. In reality, a rainbow is testimony to the fact that all the colors of the spectrum are present in white light. As illustrated in the diagram below, light goes from the source (the sun) to the object (the apple), and finally to the detector (the eye and brain).

      Eyes see in a different way that in reality. Like for example white makes all the colors of the rainbow, so the rainbow is actually white but we see it in colors. The sun is actually yellow but we see it a little white.

Understanding Genetics - 0 views

  • Eye color is the result of variations in the amount of melanin, a pigment found in the front part of the iris of the eye.  The lack of this pigment results in blue eyes, some pigment gives green and lots of pigment gives brown eyes.   So light brown eyes just have a bit less melanin than darker brown eyes.  All of the different shades of eye color happen the same way.  Blue-green eyes have an amount of melanin between green and blue, hazel eyes have an amount of pigment between green and brown, etc.

Central heterochromia is when the eyes show various colors, such as a blue iris with a golden-brown ring around the pupil. And sectoral heterochromia is when one iris has a splash of color that's different from its overall hue, a trait that actress Kate Bosworth has.

  • come in many different shapes and sizes. They can be as small as four feet (1 1/4 meters) long weighing just 100 pounds (45 kilograms), or as large as 30 feet (nine meters) long weighing up to 11,000 pounds (950 kilograms). All dolphins, including even the largest, can move quickly through the water, using paddle-shaped forelimbs called flippers to steer, dorsal fins on their backs to stay balanced, and powerful tail fins called flukes to move forward. Their torpedo-shaped bodies flow smoothly in the water, so they don't make many waves. They use their flippers to make sharp turns and sudden stops. All dolphins have blowholes on the tops of their heads. These mammals breathe through their blowholes. They have to go to the surface of the water to breathe. Each dolphin has just one blowhole.

Dolphin Families - 0 views

  • Your family may be like a dolphin family. Dolphins live in big family groups, called pods. As soon as a baby dolphin, or calf, is born, her mother and father push her to the surface of the water so that she can breathe. The calf stays by her mother's side most of the time, but her father, aunts, uncles, brothers, and sisters all help to take care of her.
