Expert Solution
Introduction:
  • A Punnett square is a simple tool for predicting the genotypes of offspring from a cross of two parents. It is a table that illustrates the various allele combinations that each parent can pass on to their offspring.
  • To use a Punnett square, write the possible alleles for each parent down the table's top and sides. Then you fill in the blanks with the allele combinations that their offspring might inherit.
  • To determine a parent's genotype based on the phenotypes of their offspring, you must first know the phenotypes of both parents and their offspring. You can determine the possible genotypes of both parents by looking at the traits of the offspring.
