Each box contains a different possible outcome in a genetic cross.
The boxes in a Punnett's Square represent the possible outcome of breeding two parent organisms to produce offspring. For example, if you breed a tall pea plant (Tt) with another tall pea plant (Tt), the possible genotypic results are 25% TT, 50% Tt, and 25% tt. The possible phenotypic results would be 75% tall and 25% short. The boxes themselves are the possible genotypic outcomes, from which you can deduce the phenotypic outcome.

∙ 12y agoThe squares in the Punnett square represent all of the possible genotypes that can be found in the offspring of the parents being crossed. The probability of each phenotype is then deduced from the gentoypes, and the liklihood of a particular trait showing up in the offspring is determined.

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.
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.
In a punnett square the letters within the little boxes represent?
offspring genotypes
What does the capital letter in a Punnett square represent?
In a Punnett square, a capital letter represents a dominant allele.
What goes on the outside of a Punnett Square?
On the outside of the Punnett Square you put the genotype or two alleles of the parents.
What is the name of the square used to illustrate the genetic crossing of parents phenotype?
Punnett square
What is represented by a pair of lowercase letters such as yt In a punnett square?
a pair of recessive genes
What is the name of the diagram that genetics use to represent the possible combinations of alleles in a test cross?
A Punnet Square shows the gene combinations that might result from a genetic cross.
What do the letter outside the punnett square stand for?
Question # 1. The letters on the outside of a Punnett square stand for the parent alleles. The alleles are represented by upper case letters and lower case letters, depending on the dominance or recessiveness of a trait. Punnett squares can be as simple as four boxes or as complex as thirty-six boxes. When filling in a Punnett square one should place the parent the two parents at the top and the left side and place the separated alleles on the top and sides corresponding to the rows and columns of the square. Question #2.
A helpful device for predicting the ratios of possible genotypes is a?

What is a diagram used by biologists to predict the outcome of a genetic cross?
punnett square (:
What was the grid used to prdict patterns of inheritance based on genotype of parents called?
Punnett square
What do the letters outside the punnett square stand for?
The letters on the outside of the Punnett square stand for the alleles of each parent. One parent's alleles are written across the top of the square, and the other parent's alleles are written along the left side of the square. The pairs of alleles inside the square represent all the possible genotypes for their offspring.
