Heredity project By: Enrique Garnica Knowing how to cross two characters or people using a punnet square can be very useful to find out what kind of baby you could get.

They both are completely different species which makes them even more interesting to cross.

Mabel also has a twin brother named Dipper, and he has brown hair just like his sister. From her uncle’s we can see that most of her family has brown hair, so we can guess that her parents do as well. The punnett squares for each trait were created by looking at the traits of both parents, one parent having a more dominant trait than the other in each punnett square. For example, Spongebob has light yellow hair which would be recessive compared to Mabel’s brown hair because neither of Spongebob’s parents show that they have yellow hair but they could be a carrier.

For the skin color, I just compared Mabel’s white skin to SpongeBob’s yellow spongy skin and since Mabel is American and SpongeBob is Polynesian, the baby is most likely to be
