‘Also give your graph a meaningful descriptive tide,“Total fingerprint ridge count exemplifies a polygenic inheritance pattern, Penrose (1969) and others have suggested
that a minimum of seven gene loci contribute to TRC, but a four-locus model is hypothesized in the problems that
follow. Thus, AABRCCDD represents the genotype for maximum ridge count and aabhvcdd symbolizes the penotyPe
for the minimum ridge count, Assume that cach dominant allele adds 12 ridges to the TRC of the male and 9 to the
TRC of the female and that having the genotype aubbedd produces a baseline TRC of 80 for males and 70 for
female
