Mice have a set of multiple alleles of a gene for coat color

Four of those alleles are as follows: C = full color (wild) cch = chinchilla cd = dilution c = albino Given that the gene locus is not sex-linked and that each allele is dominant to those lower in the list, diagram the crosses indicated below and give the phenotypic ratios expected from each.
