In the guinea pig, one locus involved in the control of coat color may be occupied by any of four alleles: C (full color), with an order of minance of: (C is dominant to all others, dominant to

(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 se-pia 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

HINT: This problem involves an understanding of multiple alleles. The key to its solution is to note particularly the hierarchy of dominance of the various alleles. Remember also that even though there ran be more than two alleles in a population, an individual can save at most two of these. Thus, the allelic distribution into gametes adheres to the principle of segregation.
