Genes that control coat color in mammals represent some of the best early examples of genes with multiple alleles exhibiting different phenotypes. A classic example is the C gene in hamsters. Three of the known alleles of this gene are C, c^k and c^a. Each supplies a different amount of black pigment to the coat hair. The phenotypes of three different homozygous strains are as follows.

Based on the concepts of dominance, determine whether ck and ca were dominant or recessive alleles by crossing the true-breeding sepia hamsters to true-breeding black hamsters. From the resulting F1 progeny phenotype, what would be the ratio of F2 phenotype
