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;

Males in a population differ in the time they spend displaying to females. A researcher hypothesizes that predators are responsible for these differences. Males display for longer durations when there are no predators in the vicinity and for shorter durations when there is a predator nearby. Which of the following study designs is the most appropriate test of this hypothesis?

The frequencies of two allele’s p and q for a gene locus in a population are 0.8 and 0.2, respectively. Population show inbreeding with value of F is .25, Assume that the population is infinitely large and no other evolutionary force is acting. The heterozygote frequency will be
