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.

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.
A punnett square is a shorthand way to show the events that occur during what?
meiosis exactly
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.
How does a punnett square show precetages of phenotypes and geneotypes?
Punnett Squares do not directly tell you the percentages of phenotypes and genotypes, it tells you the probability of the expected genotypes. Based on the Punnett Square, you can infer about the genotypic and phenotypic ratios.
How does mendels laws relate to probability?
The probabilty can be applied to meiosis.
What is used to organize possible offspring combination?
punnett squares
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...
Who invented the Punnett squares?
Reginald Crundall Punnett is the originator of this technique of Mendelian inheritance.
What is used to organize offspring combinations?

Are punnett squares part of algebra or geometry?
They are a part of genetics.
How many squares are in a trihybrid cross punnett square?
64
Where was the punnett square made?
Gregor Mendel created/used punnett squares in order to predict the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring.

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.
Why do you use punnett squares to find traits?
cause it is easier and more organized
