Genes A and B are on two different chromosomes. You construct a Punnett Square to to show the expected genotypes in the offspring of a cross between these two genotypes: AaBB x AaBb.  What are the dimensions of the smallest Punnett square you can make to show the expected results?  (e.g., 2x2, 4x1. Don’t worry about the order of the two numbers if they differ. That is, 4x8 is the same as 8x4)

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
