Well as I am doing my science homework I come across this question.
Mr. Krabbs and his wife recently had a Lil' Krabby, but it has not been a happy occasion for them. Mrs. Krabbs has been upset since she first saw her new baby who had short eyeballs. She claims that the hospital goofed and mixed up her baby with someone else's baby. Mr. Krabbs is homozygous for his tall eyeballs, while his wife is heterozygous for her tall eyeballs. Some members of her familly have short eyes, which is the recessive trait. Create a punnet square using T for the dominant gene and t for the recessive one.

A. List the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their children.
Phenotype-100% tall eyeballs
Genotype-2:2
B. Did the hospital make a mistake? Explain your answer.
I believe the hospital did not make a mistake. The only mistake I see here is Mrs. Krabbs went out and got laid by Bobby(ex-boyfriend) who is homozygous for short eyeballs. Mrs. Krabbs then took a pregnancy test and came out positive so she had Mr. Krabbs stick his pincher in her shell to have him believe he is the father. Well when the little crab came out Mr. Krabbs was very disappointed and murdered Spongebob Squarepants and then proceded to murder Squidward.
I am hoping this answers the teachers question appropriately.
