These letters represent gene combinations. If the male has two genes for one trait: AA, and the female has two genes for the same trait:aa, the offspring will get one (A) and one (a) from each and together the offspring will have Aa for its' trait.
This Punnett square helps to show what the crosses will be and in what ratio.
A punnet square uses letters to represent dominant and recessive alleles.
The letters on the outside are the genotypes of two parents. Inside are the possible genotypes of possible offspring of the two
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
The letters represent the alleles, or variations, of a given trait. So for example T might represent tall and t represents short. The capital letter always corresponds to the dominant trait and the lowercase letter corresponds to the recessive trait.
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
capital letters are dominant traits. Lower case letters are recessive traits.
A punnet square uses letters to represent dominant and recessive alleles.
A genotypic combination
A dominant gene
Two letters which represent that parent's traits. They might be called alleles (its been a while).
A capital letter in a Punnet Square represents a dominate allele.
A punnet square is a box of 4 sections
What do letters on the inside of the pungent square stand gor
a+b+c=4 a^2+b^2+c^2=10 a^3+b^3+c^3=22 Hope that helps. :)

A banana is a good example of a punnet square since it has absolutely nothing to do with a punnet square.
Using Punnett Squares, you can predict the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring of a cross between a homozygous (purebred) tall pea plant and a homozygous (purebred) short pea plant.
