Scientists have changed the color of a dark - striped zebrafish(斑马鱼
18、) to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素 ) gene into a young fish.As with humans, zebrafish skin color is deter-mined by pigment cells， which contain melanin(黑色素 ).The number, size and darkness of melanin perpigment cell determine skin color.
