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;

In the following pedigree shows the segregation of two different recessive traits.

Assuming that both traits are due to linked autosomal genes that are 10 cM apart, calculate the probability that the indicated child will have both recessive traits.
