Question

question 12 1 pts the more dominant alleles a person has, the taller they are. which person is the tallest? aabbccdd aabbccdd aabbccdd aabbccdd

Explanation:

Question 12 (Tallest Person Based on Dominant Alleles)

Step 1: Understand Dominant Allele Impact

The problem states that more dominant alleles mean a taller person. Dominant alleles are typically represented by uppercase letters (e.g., \( A, B, C, D \)), while recessive are lowercase (\( a, b, c, d \)). We need to count the number of dominant alleles (uppercase letters) in each genotype.

Step 2: Analyze Each Option

• Option 1: \( AaBbCcDd \)

Count uppercase: \( A, B, C, D \) → 4 dominant alleles.

• Option 2: \( aaBBCCdd \)

Count uppercase: \( B, B, C, C \) → 4 dominant alleles.

• Option 3: \( AABBccdd \)

Count uppercase: \( A, A, B, B \) → 4 dominant alleles.

• Option 4: \( AaBbCCDD \)

Count uppercase: \( A, B, C, C, D, D \) → 6 dominant alleles.

Answer:

The genotype with the most dominant alleles is \( AaBbCCDD \) (since it has 6 dominant alleles, more than the others with 4). So the tallest person is represented by the genotype \( AaBbCCDD \), corresponding to the option "AaBbCCDD".
