I'm hoping someone could check my answers to these Punnett square questions.
1. In cats black fur is dominant over gray fur. Curles ears are dominant over straight ears.
          A cat that is homozygous for black fur and curled ears is crossed with a cat homozygous for gray fur and straight ears, resulting in f1 generation offspring.
 A)  If two off spring of the f1 generations are crossed, set up a Punnett sq. to predict the possible genotypes of the f2 offspring.

So what's confusing me is the "two offspring part" I did the Punnett sq using
BBCC x bbcc as P
And got BbCc as f1. Did I do that right?

B) what is the probability that a f2 offspring will be heterozygous for both genes?
       I got 1/4

Just want someone to double check, thanks!!

You got it right.  They are simply saying 2 of the F1 offspring....doesn't matter which as they are all BbCc.

B. Is also correct.
