Best Answer

The main perpose of a punnett square is to find the probability of what an organism will look like compared to its parents.

For example, if say you wanted to find the probability of a dog with one parent a blond dog and the other black, the black dog's allele is BB and the blond's is bb,the more dominatnt one,(BB) will take over so that means the offsring of the 2 dogs,will be mostly black.

What is used to predict results in genetics?

Using insturments like microarrays allow you to see the different genes to see what is causing diseases, etc. It also allows you to see what kinds of drugs will work on you exclusively and allows you to not go through the process of drug trials.


Why is it difficult to use a Punnett square to determine certain traits such as eye color?

The alleles for eye color result different combiantions of different eye-color shades from the offspring's parent.

What type of inheritance is shown in the Punnett square for pea shape and pea color?

Dihybrid inheritance.We use the word "dihybrid" when we are following two (di-) traits.


Why do you have blond hair blue eyes?

(NOT ALL WORDS SPELLED RIGHT)It all has to do with genetics or also known as heredity. Blonde hair and blue eyes are recessive trait.s If your mom is a hybrid (heterozygous) & your dad is a purebred, (homozygous) that means your dad has two dominant alleles & your mom who is a hybrid has a dominant and a recessive allele, but sheonly shows the dominant allele. When the sperm cell (DAD) & the egg cell (MOM) came in contact with each other, they created an off spring, when doing this you could use a punnett square to figure out how it works. I Hope this helpedyouuuuu(:PS:For punnett square go to this link- http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/4599080/punnett-main_Full.jpgAlso if you go to this link, for your father gene's use ( BB) and for mother gene's use (Bb)

How do you use a Punnett Square and what do they do?

A punnett square shows the possible outcomes of a certain trait based on the parents genes. To use the Punnett square, you put pairs of genes in the diagram and then determine the crosses that will come from those combinations. It is useful when dealing with hybrid and dihybrid crosses to determine the genotypic and phenotypic ratios.
