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: -The Punnett square is a table in which all of the possible outcomes for a genetic cross between two individuals with known genotypes are given. In its simplest form, the Punnett square consists of a square divided into four quadrants.
Detailed explanation-3: -A diagram that represents the possible genotypes of offspring, developed after the event of breeding. It was first developed by geneticist Reginald Punnette. The possible genotypes of offspring are represented in tabular form. Each box in the table represents one event of fertilization.
