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.

Question

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:

(1) AaBBCc × AaBBCc

(2) AABbCc × AABbcc

(3) AaBbCc × AaBbcc
