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

Genetic drift in a small population for multiple generations can significantly affect the composition of a population’s gene pool. Following some observation are given for reason of Genetic drift?

A) Small populations are threatened by a loss of genetic variability. This loss may be caused by inbreeding, genetic drift, and limited mating.

B) Sampling error can arise is through the founder effect, which is due to the limited matting within population

C) Genetic drift arises is through a genetic bottleneck, which develops when a population undergoes a drastic reduction in population size.

D) Variance in allele frequency due to genetic drift will be maximal when one allele is very rare and the population size is small.

Which of the above observation are true?
