ABCD

• 0%

• 25%

• 75%

What are punnett squares used for?

• Predicting the possible offspring of two parents

• Determining the alleles of a specific gene

• Identifying dominant and recessive traits

• Determining an individuals genotype

What is the difference between a monohybrid and a dihybrid cross?

• A monohybrid cross produces a single offspring, whereas a dihybrid cross produces two offspring

• A monohybrid cross involves a single parent, whereas a dihybrid cross involves two parents

• A monohybrid cross involves only one heterozygous parent whereas a dihybrid cross involves both heterozygous and homozygous parents

• A monohybrid cross predits the outcome of one trait whereas a dihybrid cross predicts the outcome of two traits
