General Science: Genetics and Punnett Squares

In a punnet square where are the parent alleles written?

• Top and inside the boxes
• Only on the left and right side of the boxes. 
• outside of the boxes (top and left side)
• All on the top side of the boxes

What is probabilty? 

• is the mathematical chance of a specific outcome in relation to the total number of possible outcomes. 
• is the mathematical formula to additional and subtraction of genotypes
• is the mathematical chance of a specific relationship between genotype and phenotype
• All of the above
