For sponges like Spongebob, yellow "skin" is dominant to blue. If a sponge has the genotype of Yy, the phenotype would be.

• Yellow skin

• Blue skin

• Yellow skin

• Blue skin

For sponges, having a square shape is dominant to a round shape. SpongeBob SquarePants (heterozygous for his square shape) mates with SpongeSusie RoundPants (round shaped). Create a Punnett Square to determine the possible offspring these two could have. Select all the genotypes that are possible for their offspring.

For sponges, having a square shape is dominant to a round shape. SpongeBob SquarePants (heterozygous for his square shape) mates with SpongeSusie RoundPants (round shaped). Create a Punnett Square to determine the possible offspring these two could have. What are the odds of their offspring being square shaped?

Patrick meets Lucy at the dance. Both are heterozygous for pink body colour, which is dominant over yellow. Create a Punnett square to show the possibilities if Patrick and Lucy had children. Select all the possible genotypes for their offspring:

• homozygous recessive

• heterozygous

• homozygous dominant

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. What are the genotypes for their possible children?

• 2Bb, 2bb

• 1BB, 2Bb, 1bb

• 4 Bb

• 2BB, 2Bb
