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^a and c^k. 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  c^a c^a  hamsters to the true-breeding c^k c^k  hamsters to produce heterozygous  c^a and c^k  F1 progeny,  the F1 progeny cack  hamsters self fertilized, From the fraction of F2 progeny that have the wild type black phenotype, 

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 different gene. 

What will be the ratio of F2 hamster;

In Drosophila melanogaster, cinnabar eye (cn)and vestigial wing (vg) are simple recessive traits.a A male pure line wild type eye ,vestigial wing cross with female pure line cinnabar eye, wild type wing . F1female, heterozygous for both genes, was crossed with a male with cinnabar eyes and vestigial wings. The offspring resulting from this cross are listed in below class

I Wild type

II Cinnabar eye, wild-type wing

III Wild-type eye, vestigial wing

IV Cinnabar eye, vestigial wing

Above class are recombinant progeny

A wild plant with genes AABBCC was crossed with a triple recessive mutant aabbcc. The F1 male hybrid (AaBbCc) was then back crossed with the triple mutant and the phenotypes recorded are as follows

AabbCc (50), aaBbcc(50), AaBbCc (100), aabbcc (100), AaBbcc (350), aabbCc (350)
