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).

Show the work

  1. Gametes from each parent

    one allele of each gene

    AB, Ab, aB, ab × AB, Ab, aB, ab = 16 boxes

  2. 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
