Punnett Square Calculator
Cross two parents for one or two genes and see the Punnett square with genotype and phenotype ratios.
Phenotype ratio
9 : 3 : 3 : 1
- Genotype ratio
- 1 AABB : 2 AABb : 1 AAbb : 2 AaBB : 4 AaBb : 2 Aabb : 1 aaBB : 2 aaBb : 1 aabb
- A_ B_ (dominant A, dominant B)
- 56.25% (9/16)
- A_ bb (dominant A, recessive b)
- 18.75% (3/16)
- aa B_ (recessive a, dominant B)
- 18.75% (3/16)
- aa bb (recessive a, recessive b)
- 6.25% (1/16)
Assumes complete dominance and genes that sort independently (not linked).
Punnett square (rows: parent 1's gametes, columns: parent 2's)
| AB | Ab | aB | ab | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AB | AABB | AABb | AaBB | AaBb |
| Ab | AABb | AAbb | AaBb | Aabb |
| aB | AaBB | AaBb | aaBB | aaBb |
| ab | AaBb | Aabb | aaBb | aabb |
Show the work
Gametes from each parent
one allele of each gene
AB, Ab, aB, ab × AB, Ab, aB, ab = 16 boxes
Count each phenotype
A_ = AA or Aa, B_ = BB or Bb
9 A_ B_ : 3 A_ bb : 3 aa B_ : 1 aa bb = 9 : 3 : 3 : 1
How it works
Each parent passes one allele per gene; every gamete pairing is equally likely. Capital letters are dominant (complete dominance)
