Is more melanin distributed in the hair or in the skin?

  1. More in the hair

  2. More in the skin

  3. Equally distributed in both

  4. Not distributed in the skin at all

The correct answer is: More in the hair

Melanin is a pigment that gives color to our hair, skin, and eyes. In most cases, melanin is more concentrated in the skin than in the hair. The skin contains specialized cells called melanocytes that produce melanin, which is then transferred to nearby skin cells, giving us our skin color. In contrast, hair color is primarily determined by the amount and type of melanin present in the hair shaft. Therefore, while melanin is present in both the skin and hair, it is more evenly distributed and plays a greater role in skin color. Option B is incorrect because it states that there is more melanin in the skin, which is not true in most cases. Option C is incorrect because while melanin may be present in both the hair and skin, it is not equally distributed. And finally, Option D is incorrect because as mentioned before, melanin is present in the skin, although at lower concentrations compared to the hair.
