Question
Consider three genes Aa,Bb and Cc  responsible for skin color inheritance. Then the phenotypes of persons with genotypes AABBCC and aabbcc respectively would be
Options:
A .  Very dark and moderate dark
B .  Very dark and very fair
C .  Very fair and very dark
D .  Moderate dark and moderate fair
Answer: Option B
:
B
Considering Aa,BbandCc as the three genes responsible for skin color inheritance, the dominant alleles A, B and C represent greater melanin production and the recessive alleles a, b and c represent less melanin production. Thus, a person with the genotype AABBCC would be very dark, while a person with the genotype aabbcc would be very fair.
