Punnett square homework due friday
Warm up:
Everyone in Squidward’s family has light blue skin, which is the dominant trait for body color
in his hometown of Squid Valley. His family brags that they are a “purebred” line. He
recently married a nice girl who has light green skin, which is a recessive trait. Create a
Punnett square to show the possibilities that would result if Squidward and his new bride
had children. Use B to represent the dominant gene and b to represent the recessive gene.
A. List the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their children.
B. What are the chances of a child with light blue skin? ____%
C. What are the chances of a child with light green skin? ____%
D. Would Squidward’s children still be considered purebreds? Explain!
