Answer:

Has three dominant alleles

Explanation:

Skin colour is a polygenetic inheritance and it is controlled by three genes pairs of alleles. The human skin is determined by the amount of melanin it contains. A combination of melanin producing alleles  determines the skin color.

In the above question, the person has a skin color that is midway meaning only half of the alleles produced melanin. The total number of alleles is 6 and half of it is 3. So, only 3 alleles were dominant and the remaining three were recessive.

B. Prophase- chromosomes shorten and condense by coiling. Centrioles move in opposite directions.

C. Metaphase - spindle fibres bind to kinetochores and pulls it the chromosomes on the equator of the spindle forms a plate called the metaphase plate.
