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, ca and ck. Each supplies a different amount of black pigment to the coat hair. The phenotypes of three different homozygous strains are as follows.
would mate the true-breeding  ca ca  hamsters to the true-breeding ck c hamsters to produce heterozygous  ca and ck  F1 progeny. Crosses and their interpretation that would have allowed geneticists to come to the conclusion that ca and ck were likely to be alleles of the same using the concept that alleles of the same gene will be tightly linked. What will be the ratio of F2 hamster;
