-Human skin colour is controlled by three pair of genes- So- it is a polygenic inheritance- These three genes present at three different loci and each dominant gene is responsible for the synthesis of fixed amount of melanin- A very dark skinned man -AABBCC- marries very light skinned women- the chances of very dark skinned offsprings are 1 out of 64- -So- the correct answer is -apos-1-64-apos-
