What is a punnett square used to predict?
A Punnett square is used to lay out the possible genotypes of offspring based on the genotypes of the parents being bred. From this, the probabilities of certain phenotypes and genotypes can be determined.
What is the phenotype of all four offspring's?
Generally, if the parents are heterozygous and one allele is dominant over the other there are only 2 phenotypes and 3 genotypes. Parents Aa can produce AA, Aa and aa offspring. If the heterozygous individuals have an intermediate phenotype, then three genotypes and 3 phenotypes are possible. If 2 traits are being studied using heterozygous parents AaBb then the possible Genotypes are AABB, AABb, AAbb, AaBB, AaBb, Aabb, aaBb, aaBB, aabb which is nine genotypes. But there are 4 phenotypes. AABB AABb AaBB AaBb are phenotypically the same. aaBb, aaBB are phenotypically the same. Aabb, AAbb are phenotypically the same. aabb
What tool is used in order to determine the probabilities of phenotypes and genotypes resulting from specific genetic crosses?
Punnett Square...... I'm in 7th grade and know that. Punnet Squre is where you find breeding
Which part of DNA determines traits?
chromosomes from parents genotypes or phenotypes
How many phenotypes can come from a heterozygous parent and a homozygous recessive parent?
Two types: A heterozygous parent (Aa) and a homoygous recessive parent (aa) can produce phenotypically dominate and phenotpically recessive offspring (with 50% genotypes Aa and the other 50% aa). If the genes are co-dominate then the offspring can have blended traits and recessive traits phenotypically.
What is the probability of genotypes and phenotypes?
What is the probability that any of the offspring between individuals with the genotype AABbCcddEE will have the genotype AABBCCddEE
How are the genotype and phenotype of parents related to the genotype and phenotypes of offsprings?
The parents can pass on only the alleles of their genotypes to their offspring. Therefore, the offspring genotypes and phenotypes are dependent solely upon the alleles inherited from the parents.
How do you find possible phenotypes in offspring?
The possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring can be determined using a Punnett square, a grid that shows the possible combinations of alleles that can result at fertilisation. The Punnett square below shows the expected genotypes of the offspring of parent pea plants that both have the genotype Rr.
What is a punnett square used to predict?
A Punnett square is used to lay out the possible genotypes of offspring based on the genotypes of the parents being bred. From this, the probabilities of certain phenotypes and genotypes can be determined.
Where was the punnett square made?
Gregor Mendel created/used punnett squares in order to predict the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring.
How can probability be used to predict genotypes in offspring?
Probability can be used to predict possible genotypes in offspring by using a Punnett Square. Source: The boringest and laziest science teacher: Mrs. Melissa Polimeni of Orchard Valley Middle School -AshaParekh44
How does probability relate to the punnet square?
A Punnet square is a way of representing the possible combinations of genotypes in an offspring of two parents with differing genes. It is used to determine the probability that the offspring has a particular genotype.
What is the probability of each of the following sets of parents producing the give genotypes in their offspring?
Each parent contributes 50% of the genetic make-up of the offspring.
What is the phenotype of all four offspring's?

AABB AABb AaBB AaBb are phenotypically the same. aaBb, aaBB are phenotypically the same. Aabb, AAbb are phenotypically the same. aabb
How do you find possible phenotypes of offspring?
Mendel Diagrams. If the offspring gets a dominate gene from both parents, the offspring will exhibit traits from the dominate gene. If the offspring gets a dominate gene from one parent and a recessive gene from another, the offspring will exhibit traits from the dominate gene. If the offspring get a recessive gene from both parents, the offspring will exhibit traits from the recessive gene.
If you cross a while flower with the genotype pp with a purple flower with the genotype pp the possible genotypes in the offspring will be what for the cross what would the phenotypes be?
half white and half purple
A homozygous blue flower BB is crossed with a homozygous white flower bb What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring?
Assuming there is no co-dominance or partial dominance, the result would be that 100% of the offspring would be blue, heterozygous flowers with the phenotype Bb.
