Punnett Squares
Traits P - Parental Generation Genotype: TT or tt Gametes: T or t F1 – First Filial Generation Genotype: Tt Gametes: T or t F2 – Second Filial Generation ** too complicated need to set up a Punnett Square
Predicting traits The Punnett Square is a valuable tool for visualizing the probability of the inheritance of certain traits
Predicting traits Genotypes: Genotypic ratio: Phenotypes: Phenotypic ratio: % tall? % short? %
