Punnett Square Calculator

Generate monohybrid and dihybrid Punnett squares for any genetic cross. Get genotype ratios, phenotype probabilities, and full inheritance interpretation — including X-linked, incomplete dominance, and codominance.

Cross Type & Inheritance Mode

Choose monohybrid (1 trait) or dihybrid (2 traits), then select how dominance works

Parent Genotypes

Use uppercase for dominant allele, lowercase for recessive (e.g. A / a)

Genetics Glossary

Genotype

The genetic makeup (e.g. Aa, BB). Two alleles per gene — one from each parent.

Phenotype

The observable trait (e.g. brown eyes). Determined by genotype + environment.

Dominant Allele

Expressed when at least one copy is present (AA or Aa). Written with uppercase.

Recessive Allele

Only expressed when two copies present (aa). Written with lowercase letter.

Heterozygous (Carrier)

Has one dominant and one recessive allele (Aa). Carries but may not show recessive trait.

Homozygous

Both alleles are the same — either both dominant (AA) or both recessive (aa).

Incomplete Dominance

Heterozygous shows blended phenotype. Red (RR) × White (rr) = Pink (Rr).

Codominance

Both alleles are fully expressed in heterozygote. Blood type AB = both A and B antigens.

Dominant Offspring

show dominant phenotype

Recessive Offspring

show recessive phenotype

Carriers (Heterozygous)

carry but may not show

Phenotype Ratio

dominant : recessive

Genotype Ratio

AA : Aa : aa
