i have watched every single episode of spongebob that exists...i have all the seasons boxed sets and i can tell u that this episode where spongebob meets spongesusie roundpants does not exist...therefore there is no need to worry about roundshaped children

An easy punnett square would help with this.
Assume S is square and s is round
Ss x ss
A. Genotypes= Ss, ss
Phenotypes= round and square
B. 2 out of 4, or 50%
C 2 out of 4, or 50%.
i dont know wat the color had to do with it, but ya.....
hope this helps! my bio teacher also gives us the weird spongebob worksheets. maybe just so that we will be into it since its something a lot of ppl like.....

My 7th grade life science teacher gave us this exact same question!
Assuming S=Square shape, s=round
Ss x ss
s s
S Ss Ss
s ss ss
50% (2 out of 4) Heterozygous square
50% (2 out of 4) Homozygous round.

Ugh I hated that did it about 4 or 5 years ago i think you should make a punnet square something like that good luck that sounds so pointless though
