Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In a punnett square where are the parent alleles written?
A
Top and inside the boxes
B
Only on the left and right side of the boxes.
C
outside of the boxes (top and left side)
D
All on the top side of the boxes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In Punnett squares, the alleles for the parents are separated. One parent’s alleles are written across the top of the table. The other parent’s alleles are written down the left side of the table. The Punnett square below shows a cross between two pea plants studied by Mendel.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each of the two Punnett square boxes in which the parent genes for a trait are placed (across the top or on the left side) actually represents one of the two possible genotypes for a parent sex cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer: In a Punnett square, the letters that line the outside of the box represent C) gametes. The Punnett square is responsible for determining the genotype of the offspring based on the gametes from the parental generation.
