1) If an AaBBCcdd male ma of ridge-producing genes possible in one of their children?

b. What would be the TRC for this child if it is a male? A female?

c. If this child is a male, will he have a higher or lower TRC than the parent with the higher ridge count?

d. What is the minimum number of ridge-producing genes possible in a child of this couple?

e. If this child were a female, would she have a higher or lower TRC than the parent with the lower ridge count? Explain.

2) If an AaBBCcdd male were to mate with an AABbCcDd female:

a. What is the minimum number of active alleles possible in a child this couple could produce?

b. What would be the probability of producing a child with the minimum number of active alleles? Show your calculations.

c. What would be the TRC for this child if it were male? Female?
