im having trouble with this,can someone show me how a punnett square would look with this cross and what percentage each would be? its with dragons but genetics are the same:

hypo = recc.
trans = recc.
smoothie = co-dom

male = hypo het. trans
female + smoothie het. hypo het. trans

What is Trans or Smoothie? Last time I checked Hypo isn't recessive. A Hypo is a linebred morph, so you can't do Punnet squares. But here is a simple Mack Snow x Albino.
Mack Snow= Am
Albino= aa A= Normal, m= 1 copy Mack Snow, aa= recessive Albino

A m
a...........Aa.....am

a..........Aa .....am
=

50% Normal het Albino
50% Mack Snow het Albino

I will try to answer your real question if you make it more clear.

The ratios should be (out of 16):

3 Normal het Hypo 66% het Trans
3 Hypo 66% het Trans
1 Trans het Hypo
1 Hypo Trans
3 Smooth het Hypo 66% het Trans
1 Smooth Trans het Hypo
3 Smooth Hypo 66% het Trans
1 Smooth Hypo Trans

Use SN for the female, and NN for the male, assuming she's a heterozygous Smoothie and not homozygous (aka Super)

I checked Tony C's results. Correct.

An 8X8 Punnett square is overkill. The female makes 8 types of eggs, but the male only makes 2 types of sperm. One type of sperm has a normal gene at the smoothie locus, a hypo mutant gene, and a normal gene at the trans locus. The other type of sperm has a normal gene at the smoothie locus, a hypo mutant gene, and a trans mutant gene. So a 2x8 Punnett square is all that is needed and minimizes the additions.

S = smoothie
s = normal

H= normal
h = hypo

T = normal
t = trans

male = hypo het. trans = ss hh Tt
female + smoothie het. hypo het. trans = Ss Hh Tt

sperm = 2 types
s h T
s h t

eggs = 8 types
S H T
S H t
S h T
S h t
s H T
s H t
s h T
s h t
