This is where I found all this information.

Heredity

Lets say that Jennifer Lopez and Marc Antony are expecting a baby in the near future. The big question would be what will the baby look like? However they only want to know one thing for sure since they want the rest of the traits to be a surprise.
The thing that they want to know is will the baby have Jennifer's long eyelashes(LL) or Marc's short eyelashes(ll). 
They are both heterozygous. The punnet square would show Ll, Ll,Ll,Ll. This shows that Jennifer's long eyelashes are dominant and therefore there is a hundred percent chance that the baby's phenotype will be long eyelashes.


To their surprise they had twins. And both the babies have long eyelashes like Jennifers' just like the magical punnet square predicted. They are very happy.
