For each offspring genotype in the Punnett square you just completed, determine the phenotype. 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}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\begin{tabular}{l}
Fur and Eye Color
\end{tabular} &
\begin{tabular}{l}
Black Fur and \\
Black Eyes
\end{tabular} &
\begin{tabular}{l}
Black Fur and \\
Red Eyes
\end{tabular} &
\begin{tabular}{l}
White Fur and \\
Black Eyes
\end{tabular} &
\begin{tabular}{l}
White Fur and \\
Red Eyes
\end{tabular} \\
\hline
Predicted Fraction & [tex]$\frac{9}{16}$[/tex] & [tex]$\frac{3}{16}$[/tex] & [tex]$\frac{3}{16}$[/tex] & [tex]$\frac{1}{16}$[/tex] \\

Sure, let's fill out the data table with the predicted fractions for each phenotype based on the information provided.

[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline & \begin{tabular}{l} Black Fur and \\ Black Eyes \end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{l} Black Fur and \\ Red Eyes \end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{l} White Fur and \\ Black Eyes \end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{l} White Fur and \\ Red Eyes \end{tabular} \\ \hline Predicted Fraction & \frac{9}{16} & \frac{7}{16} & \frac{3}{16} & \frac{1}{16} \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]

Breaking it down:

1. Black Fur and Black Eyes: The predicted fraction for this phenotype is [tex]\( \frac{9}{16} \)[/tex], which equals 0.5625.
2. Black Fur and Red Eyes: The predicted fraction for this phenotype is [tex]\( \frac{7}{16} \)[/tex], which equals 0.4375.
3. White Fur and Black Eyes: The predicted fraction for this phenotype is [tex]\( \frac{3}{16} \)[/tex], which equals 0.1875.
4. White Fur and Red Eyes: The predicted fraction for this phenotype is [tex]\( \frac{1}{16} \)[/tex], which equals 0.0625.

These fractions represent the predicted probabilities for each possible phenotype of the offspring based on the genotypic combinations from the Punnett square.
