9.) In humans, when a dark-skinned person reproduces with a very light-skinned person, their children may range in color from dark to brown. This occurs because skin color is controlled by more than one gene (the exact # of genes is not known). For your convenience, a table is presented below that shows several possible genotypes & phenotypes:   Genotypes Phenotypes   AABB Very dark skin AABb or AaBB Dark skin AaBb, AAbb, or aaBB Medium brown skin Aabb or aaBb Light skin aabb Very light skin   If a man with dark skin whose genotype is AaBB reproduces with a woman who has light skin (aaBb), what are the possible skin colors that their children will have? Develop a Punnett square and list the possible genotypes & phenotypes.

9.) In humans, when a dark-skinned person reproduces with a very light-skinned person, their children may range in color from dark to brown. This occurs because skin color is controlled by more than one gene (the exact # of genes is not known). For your convenience, a table is presented below that shows several possible genotypes & phenotypes:

 

Genotypes Phenotypes

 

AABB Very dark skin

AABb or AaBB Dark skin

AaBb, AAbb, or aaBB Medium brown skin

Aabb or aaBb Light skin

aabb Very light skin

 

If a man with dark skin whose genotype is AaBB reproduces with a woman who has light skin (aaBb), what are the possible skin colors that their children will have? Develop a Punnett square and list the possible genotypes & phenotypes.
