What is the structural basis of skin color?
Skin color is determined by phenotype. Phenotypes are like genetics (inherited by the parents) but can change during a person's life, and some times, but very uncommon, a baby is born with a different phenotype then either parent. Melanin is the pigment that causes differing skin colors. Differing amounts cause the range in colors from white (with little melanin or most of the melanin concentrated into moles and freckles) to black with high levels of melanin spread through the skin. There are other factors, but scientists seem to disagree on what all affects skin color.
