Skin color is polygenic, dependent upon many genes. Dominant alleles produce darker-pigmented skin, whereas recessive alleles produce lighter-colored skin. What is the probability that a fair skinned individual (aabbccDdEeff) and a relatively dark skinned individual (AABbCCDdeeFF) will have a child who is also relatively dark skinned with a specific genotype of (AABBccDdEeFf)?
