There is a 0% chance that the baby will have pink hair.

BB (father) x bb (mother)

Punnett Square:

b b Genotype Ratio: 100% Bb

B Bb Bb Phenotype Ratio: 100% brown hair

B Bb Bb

There is a 25% chance that the baby will have floppy ears.

Both the mother and father are Pp.

Pp x Pp

Punnet Square:

P p Genotype Ratio: 25% PP, 25% pp, 50% Pp

P PP Pp Phenotype Ratio: 75% pointy, 25% floppy

p Pp pp
