In snarlymonsters, the number of teeth is polygenic. The recessive condition (aabbcc) results in a toothless snarlymonster, and the dominant condition (AABBCC) results in a snarlymonster with 6 teeth. There are 5 other possible variations. How many teeth would a AaBbCc snarlymonster have

The correct answer is - 3 teeth.

Explanation:

It is given that in Snarlymonsters the number of teeth is a polygenic trait and recessive conditions do not form the teeth in the Snarlymonsters which means only dominant alleles are responsible for the teeth.

So, aabbcc = no teeth

AABBCC  = 6 teeth

so the number of teeth is the number of dominant alleles present in the SNarlymonster like A, B, C present in offspring.

In the case of the AaBbCc genotype, there are 3 dominant genes A, B, and C, so 3 teeth are present in snarly monsters.

this is true, assuming that the allele is completely recessive and incomplete dominance is not a factor.
