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.

How is a Punnett square a model a model for what happens during meiosis?

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...


A punnett square is a shorthand way to show the events that occur during what?

A punnett square is a shorthand way to show the possible genetic outcomes or combinations that can result from a genetic cross between two individuals. It helps predict the probability of specific traits being passed on to offspring.

How do punnett squares relate to meiosis?

The square shows the possible alleles and how they can be expressed when they come together once again.It is used In genetics and is a type of grid used to show the gametes (sex cells) of each parent and their possible offspring. Sometimes it is explained as a type of grid that can indicate all the possible outcomes of a genetic cross.It is named after Reginald Crundall Punnett, an English geneticist.


What is the chart use to predict the genotype of the progeny?

A Punnett square is commonly used to predict the genotype of offspring based on the genotypes of the parent organisms. By crossing the alleles of the parents, the Punnett square can help determine the possible genetic outcomes of their offspring.
