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. 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;

You observed the two species of barnacles, species 1 and species 2, occupy upper and lower strata of intertidal rocks, respectively. Only when species 1 was removed by you from the upper strata, species 2 could occupy both the upper and lower strata. From the choice given below what would be your inference from these observations.
