How to use the Punnett Square Calculator
- Enter each parent's genotype, e.g. Aa or AaBb.
- Read the Punnett square.
- Check the genotype and phenotype ratios.
What does this tool do?
A Punnett square shows all the ways parents' alleles can combine. Each parent passes one allele of each gene to every offspring.
A classic dihybrid cross AaBb × AaBb gives the 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 phenotype ratio. Capital letters are dominant alleles and lowercase are recessive.
Why use it?
- Up to three genes.
- Genotype and phenotype ratios.
- Full square shown.
Accuracy and limits
- Assumes complete dominance and independent assortment (genes on different chromosomes).
