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! 7. Assume that one of Squidward's sons, who is heterozygous for the light blue body color, married a girl that was also heterozygous. Create a Punnett square to show the possibilities that would result if they had children. 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? % 8. Mr. Krabbs and his wife recently had a Lil' Krabby, but it has not been a happy occasion for them. Mrs. Krabbs has been upset since she first saw her new baby who had short eyeballs.
