In gerbils, coat color is controlled by the agouti gene, in which the agouti allele (A) is dominant to the black allele (a). Additionally, coat pattern is controlled by the piebald gene, where the solid allele (S) is dominant to the piebald allele (s). Both genes are located on separate chromosomes. Consider a dihybrid cross between two solid agouti gerbils (AaSs x AaSs). Sort the gerbil phenotypes according to the 9:3:3:1 ratio one would expect to see in the F1 generation.
