Punnet Square for eye colors

Featured Replies

I already know a little bit, but I need confirmation before a intense random fun research. (Not for school, free time).

 

Here's a demonstration of what I think I know.

 

(B= My parent's eye color, the dominant Brown eyes. b= my eye color, the recessive Blue.)

 

If my mom has BB and my dad has Bb, that would be impossible for a child w/ blue.

 

Mom= Bb and Dad= bb, That would be 75 percent?

Mom= Bb and Dad= Bb, that would be 25 percent?

Mom= bb and Dad= bb, that would be 100?

Mom= BB, Dad BB, that would be 0?

That's roughly accurate. I say roughly because in actual practice eye color isn't determined by a single gene, so inheritance isn't going to be quite that simple and straightforward.
