|
None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The correct option is a. Punnett squares predict the probability of different genotypes in offspring, given the original genotypes of the parents. Punnett square is used to determine the possible genotypes of the progeny when a cross is done.
Detailed explanation-2: -A Punnett square shows the probability of an offspring with a given genotype resulting from a cross. It does not show actual offspring.
Detailed explanation-3: -Although the offspring may show a variety of phenotypes, each one will lie along a continuum bracketed by the homozygous parental phenotypes.
