individuals can change sex, indicating that sex is not genetically determined. However, in human beings,

adjustment of focal length required to focus objects at different distances on the retina. We find a
structure called iris behind the cornea. Iris is a dark muscular diaphragm that controls the size of the
pupil. The pupil regulates and controls the amount of light entering the eye. 4
