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.

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?

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. She claims that the hospital goofed and mixed up her baby with someone else’s baby. Mr. Krabbs is homozygous for his tall eyeballs, while his wife is heterozygous for her tall eyeballs. Did the hospital make a mistake?
Yes
No
