What is a Punnett Square?
A Punnett Square is a diagram used to predict the outcome of a genetic cross by showing the possible combinations of alleles from the parents.
What does a dominant allele do in a Punnett Square?
A dominant allele masks the effect of a recessive allele in a heterozygous genotype.
How do you determine the genotype ratios from a Punnett Square?
You count the number of times each genotype appears in the grid and express this in simplest form.
What is the purpose of using a Punnett Square?
The purpose of using a Punnett Square is to predict the probability of offspring inheriting particular traits based on the genetic makeup of the parents.
A Punnett Square is used to predict the __ of a genetic cross.
outcome
In a Punnett Square, a __ allele can mask the effect of a recessive allele.
dominant
To find the __ ratios from a Punnett Square, count how many times each genotype appears.
genotype
The primary purpose of a Punnett Square is to predict the __ of traits in offspring.
probability
When two heterozygous parents are crossed, the __ ratio of the offspring can be determined from the Punnett Square.
