Everyone in Smurfette’s family has light blue skin, which is the dominant trait for body color in her hometown of Smurf Valley.

Her family brags that they are a "true bred" or "purebred" line. She recently married a nice boy who has light yellow skin, which is a recessive trait. Create a Punnett square to show the possibilities that would result if Smurfette and her new husband had children.
