Best Answer

The chance of a particular trait being inherited. For each trait there are several alleles, some are dominant and others recessive, for example brown eyes are dominant over blue.

The recessive phenotype can only have a genotype with both recessive alleles eg. bb

The dominant phenotype can have a genotype with both dominant alleles eg. BB or one of each eg. Bb

A punnet square shows the likelihood of a phenotype being inherited from given genotypes, alleles etc...

BB and Bb makes BB BB Bb Bb

All offspring will have the dominant phenotype (BB or Bb) eg. brown eyes

Bb and Bb makes BB Bb Bb bb

One in four of the offspring will have the recessive phenotype (bb) eg. blue eyes

How does a punett square work?

A Punnet square has 2 parts on the left and 2 parts on the top. It is used to help make sure you don't forget any parts of combinations. The parts on the sides are combined to make a two part thing in the midde. For example a xx and a xy can combine in the squares to make two xx and two xy squares.

How does the punett square help used to predict the outcomes of genetic crosses?

By showing all possible outcomes of how alleles or the genotype could be. A prediction. It helps us by showing the possibilities of many things (i.e. brown eyes or blue eyes, blonde hair or brown hair, etc.)
