Haha, lazy for workbook questions, eh? Well here ya' go.
Punnett squares are a model for what happens during meiosis because they are an easier way to show the events that occur at meiosis.
^ so not the answer. LOL
During meiosis, the chromosomes segregate into gametes. The gamete of one parent combines with the gamete of another. A PS has all the possible gametes of both parents. One on the top and one going down the left. The squares are then filled with all the possible combinations.
So it shows all the possible products of meiosis for both parents, and then all of their possible combinations...

∙ 12y agoIt's not. Sorry. A punnett square is used to calculate the genotype of the offspring of two people/animals/plants/whatever using the parents' genotypes. meiosis is the reproductive cells splitting and copying themselves, so you couldn't use a punnett square.
The Punnett square is a diagram that is used to predict the outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
A Punnett Square is not applied to the individual meiotic events

How is the Punnett square a model for what happens during meiosis?
It shows the possible allele combinations after fertilisation. You can use the punnett square to show what will happen if one or both of the parents have genetic disorders/mutations, what features will be passed on to their kids, etc.
A punnett square is a shorthand way to show the events that occur during what?
meiosis exactly
What is the name of the square used to illustrate the genetic crossing of parents phenotype?
Punnett square
A helpful device for predicting the ratios of possible genotypes is a?
the Punnett square
What is a diagram used by biologists to predict the outcome of a genetic cross?
punnett square (:
What happens when 2 different allele s for the same trait are present?
if the two alleles are the same in the same box in the punnett square then that trait is expressed. when there is a double in a punnett square then that gene is always expressed
What was the grid used to prdict patterns of inheritance based on genotype of parents called?
Punnett square

A tool used to visualize all the possible combination of alleles from parents?
The tool used to visualize all of the possible combinations of alleles from parents to offspring is called a punnett square.
Diagram that indicates all possible genotypes of a genetic cross?

Where did the name of the Punnett square come from?
The person who invented punnett squares and further studied Mendel's theories was named Reginald Punnett. Therefore the punnett square was named after him.
