Say you don't want to go through the hassle of making completely different punnet squares for each trait on your Rebop. THERE IS A SOLUTION.
DIHYBRID PUNNET SQUARES.
You have two traits, say hair color and eye color, and each parent is heterozygous for both, whose phenotype is brown hair and brown eyes. Recessive traits are blonde hair and blue eyes.
Both parents have two separate traits, hair color and eye color:
Hh and Ee
Because we will be dealing with dividing these traits together, they get squished into one trait:
HhEe
These are then distributed into all the genotype possibilities:
Each of these are lined up on the punnet square, much like the single-trait punnet squares, except far bigger:
This shows all the possible phenotypes for both traits at the same time.
Thats all for now,
