You will need to do some homework, and there are some basic rules for lettering, capital vs lower case depition, ect, ect. But let me give you this basic tip that is fundemental in understanding multiple gene punnet squares; above the square you are listing all the gamete possibilties of one of the parents, and on the left side you will list all the gamete possibilties of the other parent, then fill in respective boxes by combining the two respective gamete possibilty, whether recessive or dominant, this process of solving for the genotypes is the same, what does change is how a genotype in one of the boxes will be expressed phenotypically. So to sum up is a four step process; 1. fugure out what are the gamete possibilities from each parent, 2. solve for the genotype possibilities, 3. figure out what the phenotype will be for the respective resulting genotypes based on the relationships of recessive, co-dom, dom. 4.From that you can then tally up the similar phenotype boxes and predict the ratios and probablility of the offspring of the considered breeding. Keep this in mind and the only limit to the number and types of gene combos you can solve for is the size of the piece of paper. Hope this will help, best of luck.
