The recessive mutant allele that causes cystic fibrosis is much more frequent in Caucasians population than in other world populations. Some scientists believe heterozygotes must have had a survival advantage during plagues such as cholera that occasionally swept through this population. What concept does this illustrate?

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

would mate the true-breeding  c^a c^a  hamsters to the true-breeding c^k c^k  hamsters to produce heterozygous  c^a and c^k  F1 progeny. Crosses and their interpretation that would have allowed geneticists to come to the conclusion that c^a and c^k 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;
