Consider skin color is regulated by three genes: A, B, and C. All recessive alleles would be 0 or white on the color scale. All dominant alleles would be 6 or black on the color scale. What color is a person with AAbbCc genotype?

A) 6 or black
B) 5 or dark
C) 3 or medium brown
D) 2 or light
E) 0 or white

Genotype AAbbCc

The genetic makeup of an organism consisting of two alleles for one trait, with one being dominant A, aa indicating recessive, and Bb Cc being heterozygous.

Color Scale

A range or sequence of colors used to represent quantitative values or to show a gradual transformation.

Recessive Alleles

Recessive alleles are a type of gene that is masked by the presence of a dominant allele and only expresses its phenotype when paired with an identical allele.
