Punnett Square Calculator

Build Punnett squares for monohybrid and dihybrid crosses (Aa × Aa, AaBb × AaBb) and get genotype and phenotype ratios and probabilities.

How to use

  1. 1Enter each parent's genotype with one letter pair per gene, e.g. Aa or AaBb.
  2. 2Uppercase letters are dominant alleles; use the same letters for both parents.

How it's calculated

Each parent's gametes combine every allele choice; all pairings are equally likely. Phenotypes assume complete dominance.

Frequently asked questions

What ratio does Aa × Aa give?

Genotypes 1 AA : 2 Aa : 1 aa, and phenotypes 3 dominant : 1 recessive.

What about AaBb × AaBb?

The classic 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 phenotype ratio, assuming the genes are on different chromosomes (independent assortment).

Does this handle incomplete dominance?

Genotype ratios are always correct; phenotype ratios assume complete dominance, so interpret them differently for incomplete or co-dominance.
