What is the purpose of a Punnett square?
Correct Answer: To predict genotype ratios of offspring.
- Step 1: Understand that a Punnett square is a tool used in genetics.
- Step 2: Know that it helps predict what traits offspring might inherit from their parents.
- Step 3: Realize that the square shows all possible combinations of alleles (gene variations) from each parent.
- Step 4: Fill in the Punnett square with the alleles from each parent.
- Step 5: Count the different combinations to find the ratios of possible genotypes in the offspring.
