Given the inheritance pattern of coat color in rats described in Problem, predict the genotype and phenotype of the parents who produced the following offspring:

(a) 9/16 gray: 3/16 yellow: 3/16 black: 1/16 cream


(b) 9/16 gray: 3/16 yellow: 4/16 albino


(c) 27/64 gray: 16/64 albino: 9/64 yellow: 9/64 black: 3/64 cream


(d) 3/8 black: 3/8 cream: 2/8 albino


(e) 3/8 black: 4/8 albino: 1/8 cream

In rats, the following genotypes of two independently assorting autosomal genes determine coat color:

A−B−

(gray)

A−bb

(yellow)

aaB−

(black)

aabb

(cream)

A third gene pair on a separate autosome determines whether or not any color will be produced. The CC and Cc genotypes allow color according to the expression of the A and B alleles. However, the cc genotype results in albino rats regardless of the A and B alleles present. Determine the F1 phenotypic ratio of the following crosses:

(a) AAbbCC × aaBBcc


(b) AaBBCC × AABbcc


(c) AaBbCc × AaBbcc


(d) AaBBCc × AaBBCc


(e) AABbCc × AABbcc
