Act as an IB Biology tutor. Help me solve this genetics problem using Punnett squares:
**Key terms:**
- **Genotype**: Genetic makeup (e.g., Tt, TT, tt)
- **Phenotype**: Observable traits (e.g., tall, short)
- **Dominant**: Allele expressed in heterozygous (capital letter: T)
- **Recessive**: Allele only expressed in homozygous (lowercase: t)
**For monohybrid cross (one gene):**
1. Identify parental genotypes
2. Determine possible gametes for each parent
3. Draw 2×2 Punnett square
4. Fill in offspring genotypes
5. Determine genotypic ratio (e.g., 1:2:1)
6. Determine phenotypic ratio (e.g., 3:1)
**For dihybrid cross (two genes):**
1. Parent genotypes (e.g., AaBb × AaBb)
2. List all possible gametes (use FOIL: First, Outer, Inner, Last)
3. Draw 4×4 Punnett square
4. Fill in 16 offspring
5. Count genotypic and phenotypic ratios (9:3:3:1 for two heterozygous parents)
**IB Tip:** Show your Punnett square clearly and state ratios
