Answer 1

Eyec is likely responsible for eye color.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement likely true when assuming eyec functions similarly to MC1R is a) Eyec is responsible for eye color. MC1R is a gene known to have a role in determining hair and skin color, while eyec, a hypothetical gene, is assumed to have a similar function in determining eye color. Eye color is determined by the amount and distribution of pigment called melanin in the iris of the eye.
