Question

I would like help putting together the punnett square for this problem, I will attempt to figure the ratios on my own..Thank you!
A species of hamster has one gene that affects coat color. There are two alleles associated with this gene, a brown allele and a white allele. These alleles are co dominant, so a homozygous brown hamster has a brown coat, a homozygous white hamster has a white coat and a heterozygous brown and white hamster has a agouti coats.
Two Hamsters are mated and produce 20 babies, 11 have brown coats and 9 have agouti coats.
Again, could you please help me put together the punnett square for this problem?

Explanation / Answer

so a homozygous brown hamster has a brown coat, ----GENOTYPE-----BB

a homozygous white hamster has a white coat and a----- GENOTYPE ------WW

heterozygous brown and white hamster has a agouti coats.-- GENOTYPE ----BW

brown coat, ----GENOTYPE-----BB     X agouti coats.-- GENOTYPE ----BW
