In mice,there is a set of multiple alleles of a gene for coat color.Four of those alleles are as follows: C = full color wild type
C^ch= chinchilla
C^d= dilution
C = albino
Given that the gene locus is not sex- linked and that each allele is dominant to those lower in the list,give the ph ratios expected from the following cross.
Chinchilla heterozygous for albino) × albino

Question

In this cross, the chinchilla parent (heterozygous for albino) can be represented as C^chC^a, and the albino parent as C^aC^a. Since C^ch (chinchilla) is dominant over C^a (albino), the offspring can either be C^chC^a (chinchilla) or C^aC^a (albino), resulting in a 1:1 ratio of chinchilla to albino.
