Yes, skin pigmentation or melanin production is controlled by multiple genes that vary by ethnicity. For example, while Southern Europeans and East Asians have similar skin tones, these represent two separate evolutions and mechanisms for the suppression of melanin production. Furthermore, there is more human genetic variety in Africa than the rest of the world combined.

How many pairs of genes control skin color?
3-6
What you inherit from your parents and these are codes for the traits you have?
You inherit genes from your parents, which contain the instructions for traits such as hair color, eye color, and height. These genes are passed down through generations and determine many of your physical and biological characteristics.
Who do you get your genes from?
Your genes come from your parents. The DNA that has been passed on for generations up until your parents and then you determine which genes will be predominant (will physically appear) for example two blonde parents and two blonde grandparents mean that you will most likely be blonde.
Do human cells have 46 genes?
No. The human cell has 23 chromosome pairs (total 46 chromosomes). Each chromosome has many genes.

How many gene pairs contribute to the wheat grain colour?
Wheat grain color is primarily influenced by a small number of gene pairs, particularly two major genes: the P gene and the C gene, which determine whether the grain is red or white. Additionally, several minor genes also contribute to the variation in color. Overall, while the primary genes are few, the total number of gene pairs involved in determining wheat grain color can be more extensive due to the influence of these minor genes and their interactions.
What is the difference between chromosomes and genes?
Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain DNA, while genes are specific segments of DNA that provide instructions for a particular trait. Chromosomes house many genes, along with other DNA sequences, and are inherited in pairs, one from each parent. Genes determine specific traits, such as eye color or blood type.

How many pairs of genes do humans have in total?
Humans have a total of 23 pairs of genes, for a total of 46 individual chromosomes.

How many chromosomes do human bodies have?
Humans typically have 46 chromosomes in each cell, with 23 pairs inherited from each parent. These chromosomes contain genes that carry genetic information and determine traits such as hair color, eye color, and height.
How many genes control eye color and fur in a white tiger?
One. That's it.
How many total base pairs are in all the mammalian genes?
The exact number of base pairs in all mammalian genes is not known due to variations between species. However, the human genome contains approximately 3.2 billion base pairs. Mammalian genomes are generally similar in size to the human genome, so the total base pairs in all mammalian genes would be around this range.
A typical gene contains the instructions for making?
It depends. Some genes determine a single trait all by themselves. Some genes work with other genes to make a trait. It takes several separate genes to determine how tall you will be. And then there are other genes that by themselves determine multiple traits. Each gene is the code for a peptide chain. Many of those become proteins.
