heredity works from genes passed on from both parents. some alleles are dominant while others are recessive (dominant hides the recessive alleles) Ww is heterozygous ( *hybrid ) and WW and ww are homozygous (purebred ) EXAMPLE: if one parent was blonde (w) and the other was brunette (W) Parent 1: WW -dominant ╽ Parent 2: ww-recessive Equation: WW x ww= Ww Punnett Square: W W w ┎ Ww ┰ Ww ┒ w ┖ Ww ┸ Ww ┚ so the genotype (genetic makeup) of the children: 100% of the children are Ww the phenotype (outward appearance) 100% of the children are brunette (*hybrid brunettes) by the way. im only 12 and i did this so trust me. get your text book and try it yourself. :) :P oh and srry that the punnett square doesnt make sense this way. you have to press edit to see it correctly. i tried to fix it so dont get all POd on me. :D jk lol. well i hope this little easy science lesson helped you. :) have fun. :P i had a test on this last week and im in 7th grade. so its really not that hard if you concentrate. good luck. :D
