You could use a Punett Square for Huntington's disease, but why bother? If one parent has the disease, there is a 50% chance that a child will get it. The other factor involved is that with gene therapy advancing so fast, it is possible that it will be possible to replace a single gene in a particular chromosome in a baby born today before that baby reaches 30 years of age. Since Huntington's disease involves one gene on one chromosome, it should not be much of a problem.

What is the name of the square used to illustrate the genetic crossing of parents phenotype?
Punnett square
How can doctors and genetic counselors calculate the probability of a child inheriting a disease?
the punnett square
What is a punnett square for cystic fibrosis?
A Punnett square for cystic fibrosis would involve crossing two parents who are carriers of the recessive allele for the disease (denoted as "cf"). The square would show the probability of having a child with cystic fibrosis (25%), a carrier (50%), or unaffected by the disease (25%). Each parent would have a genotype of "Cf" (carrier) for the Punnett square.

What goes on the outside of a Punnett Square?

What does the capital letter in a Punnett square represent?
In a Punnett square, a capital letter represents a dominant allele.

What is the chart use to predict the genotype of the progeny?
A Punnett square is commonly used to predict the genotype of offspring based on the genotypes of the parent organisms. By crossing the alleles of the parents, the Punnett square can help determine the possible genetic outcomes of their offspring.
