Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Punnett square is a graphical representation of an offspring’s possible genotypes that develops from a specific event of breeding. In order to create this graphical representation, requires the knowledge of the genetic composition of the parents. The various possible combinations of the gametes are in a tabular format.
