7. In the guinea pig, one locus involved in the control of coat color may be occupied by any of four alleles: C (full color), ck (sepia), cº (cream), or c (albino), with an order of dominance of: C> c> cd > c. In the following crosses, determine the parental genotypes and predict the phenotypic ratios that would result. a) Sepia x cream, where both guinea pigs had an albino parent b) Sepia x cream, where the sepia guinea pig had an albino parent and the cream guinea pig had two sepia parents c) Sepia x cream, where the sepia guinea pig had two full color parents and the cream guinea pig had two sepia parents d) Sepia x cream, where the sepia guinea pig had a full color parent and an albino parent and the cream guinea pig had two full color parents.

7. In the guinea pig, one locus involved in the control of coat color may be occupied by any of four
alleles: C (full color), ck (sepia), cd (cream), or c (albino), with an order of dominance of: C>ck > cd >
c. In the following crosses, determine the parental genotypes and predict the phenotypic ratios that
would result.
a) Sepia x cream, where both guinea pigs had an albino parent
b)
Sepia x cream, where the sepia guinea pig had an albino parent and the cream guinea pig
had two sepia parents
c)
Sepia x cream, where the sepia guinea pig had two full color parents and the cream guinea
pig had two sepia parents
d) Sepia x cream, where the sepia guinea pig had a full color parent and an albino parent and
the cream guinea pig had two full color parents.
