Detailed explanation-1: -A Punnett square allows the prediction of the percentages of phenotypes in the offspring of a cross from known genotypes. A Punnett square can be used to determine a missing genotype based on the other genotypes involved in a cross.
Detailed explanation-2: -A Punnett Square is a helpful tool that helps to predict the variations and probabilities that can come from cross breeding. This includes predicting crossing plants, animals, even humans with each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -Phenotypes may be predicted with at least better-than-chance accuracy using a Punnett square, but the phenotype that may appear in the presence of a given genotype can in some instances be influenced by many other factors, as when polygenic inheritance and/or epigenetics are at work.
Detailed explanation-4: -A Punnet square shows the genes (represented by letters) in the parents’ gametes along the top and left-hand side of a square and the possible gene combinations in the offspring, within the square. A completed Punnett square gives the probable outcome of a given cross.
Detailed explanation-5: -Punnett square is a diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment. It shows the genotypes two individuals can produce when crossed. A genotype is the genetic makeup of the organism.
