Setting up the Punnett Square B B Shrek Fiona b BB bb Dominant = Brown eyes (BB) Recessive = Blue eyes (bb) Genotype Box First create your table that has 4 boxes in total. Place Shrek’s genes (BB) on top of the Punnett Square. Place Fiona’s genes on the left side of the Punnett Square. Phenotype Box

Solving Your Punnett Square B B B B B B Phenotype Genotype Brown Eyes BB Blue Eyes bb b b b b b b Multiply the top and left side letters and write them in the box. Don’t forget dominant traits always comes first, then the recessive letter. For the phenotype box only dominant picture is used.

Results Phenotypic Results The percent the Shrek and Fiona will have brown eyes child is 100%. Genotypic Results The percent the Shrek and Fiona’s child will have Bb as genetic code for eye color is 100%.
