Question
For my biology extra credit project I was assigned to create a pentahybrid punnett square.
   I must create a penta hybrid of the following:

AaBbCcDdEe X AaBbCcDdEe

I would greatly appreciate it if you can at least tell me how many rows and columns as well as how many boxes are needed.
      Even better would be if you can provide me with what goes where- if it is AbCd or the combinations
            Ex. PpTt x PpTt
                   PT        pT        Pt     pt

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
