For each offspring genotype in the Punnett square you just completed, determine the phenotype. In other words, what is the predicted fur color and eye color of the offspring? Using your Punnett square from the last step, fill in the predicted fraction for each phenotype in the data table below.

\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|}
\cline { 2 - 5 }
\multicolumn{1}{c|}{} & \begin{tabular}{c}
Black Fur and \\
Black Eyes
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c}
Black Fur and \\
Red Eyes
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c}
White Fur and \\
Black Eyes
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c}
White Fur and \\
Red Eyes
\end{tabular} \\
\hline
Predicted Fraction & [tex]$\square / 16$[/tex] & [tex]$\square / 16$[/tex] & [tex]$\square / 16$[/tex] & [tex]$\square / 16$[/tex] \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

Let's fill in the table with the predicted fractions for each phenotype, based on the data from our Punnett square analysis.

The phenotypes and their predicted fractions are:
- Black Fur and Black Eyes: 0.5625
- Black Fur and Red Eyes: 0.1875
- White Fur and Black Eyes: 0.1875
- White Fur and Red Eyes: 0.0625

Since the total number of squares in the Punnett square is 16, we can express these fractions as:
- [tex]\( \frac{9}{16} \)[/tex] for Black Fur and Black Eyes
- [tex]\( \frac{3}{16} \)[/tex] for Black Fur and Red Eyes
- [tex]\( \frac{3}{16} \)[/tex] for White Fur and Black Eyes
- [tex]\( \frac{1}{16} \)[/tex] for White Fur and Red Eyes

Now we will fill in the table with these fractions:
[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|l|} \cline { 2 - 6 } \multicolumn{1}{c|}{} & \begin{tabular}{c} Black Fur and \\ Black Eyes \end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c} Black Fur and \\ Red Eyes \end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c} White Fur and \\ Black Eyes \end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c} White Fur and \\ Red Eyes \end{tabular} & \\ \hline Predicted Fraction & $\frac{9}{16}$ & $\frac{3}{16}$ & $\frac{3}{16}$ & $\frac{1}{16}$ & DoNala \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]

This table now correctly represents the predicted fractions for each phenotype based on the Punnett square analysis.
