Solution

The answer is False.

Explanation:

  • The reddish tint seen in lightly pigmented skin is primarily due to the presence of oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood vessels close to the skin's surface, not a molecule formed by the combination of oxygen and melanin.
  • Melanin is the pigment responsible for the color of the skin, hair, and eyes, and it does not combine with oxygen to produce a reddish tint.
  • Oxygenated hemoglobin gives blood its red color, and when blood vessels are close to the surface of the skin, it can impart a reddish hue, especially in individuals with lighter skin tones.
