 * __WHY ARE BABIES BORN WITH BLUE EYES?__**

Answer the question below, append new answers to the top of this page. _ __Response 1:__ All children get genes from their parents like eye colour, skin colour and/or hair colour. It doesn’t matter what the colour of the eyes will be when the child gets older, the colour would have been blue when the Caucasian child was born. The reason for this is because melanin, the brown pigment molecule that colours you eyes, skin and hair hadn’t been completely developed in the irises of the child’s eyes. The iris is the coloured part of the eye that monitors the amount of light entering the eye. Like humans, kittens and other animals are also all born with blu eyes. Mallory.M
