In determining human skin color, Gene A affects melanocytes, Gene B codes for melanin-producing tyrosinase, and Gene C differentiates between pheomelanin and eumelanin.
For human skin color, Gene A influences melanocytes, Gene B codes for the enzyme tyrosinase to produce melanin, and Gene C determines the ratio of pheomelanin to eumelanin.
