Question: Lets assume that human height is a polygenic trait determined by three genes: A, B, and C. For each gene, there is a tall allele

Let’s assume that human height is a polygenic trait determined by three genes: A, B, and C. For each gene, there is a tall allele and a short allele. We’ll use T and S to indicate these. Seven people have the following genotypes:

As As BsBsCsCs, ASATBT BSCSCT, ATABTBTCTCs, ASATBSBSCSCS, ATAT BTBTCTCT, ASATBBTCSCs, ASATBTBTCTCs. Rank

As As BsBsCsCs, ASATBT BSCSCT, ATABTBTCTCs, ASATBSBSCSCS, ATAT BTBTCTCT, ASATBBTCSCs, ASATBTBTCTCs. Rank them from tallest to shortest.
