Two letters which represent that parent's traits. They might be called alleles (its been a while).

How to find possible genetic combinations given a genotype?

To find possible genetic combinations from a genotype, you can use a Punnett square. Place the alleles from one parent along one side and the alleles from the other parent along the other side. Then fill in the square to determine all possible allele combinations that could be inherited by the offspring.


How do you do a punnet square for male and female?

To create a Punnett square for male and female traits, you would list the possible alleles (gene variants) for each parent along the top and side of the square. For male traits, you would list the alleles for the X and Y chromosomes. For female traits, you would list the alleles for the two X chromosomes. Then, you fill in the square to show the possible combinations of alleles for their offspring based on the rules of inheritance.


What is a chart used to show the possible gene combination in across between two organisms?

A punnet square. The genotype of one parent is written across the top and the genotype of the other parent is written down the side.XBBBBBBBbBbBbThe genotypes of the offspring (in this case BB or Bb), are filled in by combining the genes of the parents.


How do you fill in a punnet square?

An example of a punnet square is if you have the heterozygous Bb genotype. The punnet square would have a big B and a little B at the top and on the side. The first square would be BB, the second one would be Bb, the third would be Bb, and the fourth would be bb. the possibility that the child has the bb genotype is 1/4.


How do you use a punnut square?

A Punnett square is used to predict the genetic outcomes of a cross between two organisms. To use it, draw a grid with one parent's alleles along the top and the other parent's alleles along the side. Fill in the squares by combining the corresponding alleles from each parent. This will show the possible genotypes of the offspring and their expected ratios.


What do the letters along the top and the bottom of the punnett square represent?

The letters to the left are the two alleles (the genotype) of one parent and the letters above is the other parents genotype. If the letter is capital it means the trait is dominant and if the letter is lowercase, it's recessive


How do you do punnet squares?

Take the phenotypes of the two parents and have them above and next to a box: (say that the mother is AA and the father is aa) ....A A a Aa Aa a Aa Aa All of the children should have one dominant and one recessive allele.


What genotype will fill in the missing square of this punnets square?

To determine the missing genotype in a Punnett square, you'll need to look at the genotypes of the parents along the top and left side of the square. Cross the alleles from each parent to fill in the squares accordingly. If you provide the specific genotypes of the parents, I can help you identify the missing genotype.


Is it fair for the custodial parent to ask the non custodial parent for half of the rent along with other needs for the child?

Not if your the parent taking care of the child.


What are produced by each parent that are shown along the sides of a Punnett square?

The two separate alleles of each parent. E.g. one parent is Aa and the other is AA. The top side would have 'A' in each column and the left side would have 'A' in one row and 'a' in the other.


Why are Punnett squares useful in genetics?

You have a square the is split into fourths. 2 and 2 in bottom. It looks like a window. On top of the two top squares you put the alleles of the first parent. On the left you put the to alleles of the other parent. And you basically get one allele from each parent and put it in the square and it gives you the probably outcomes of the offspring.
