Punnett Square

If brown eyes are dominant and blue eyes are recessive, what color of the eyes do the parents in the Punnett square have?

• one has brown eyes and the other has blue eyes

• They have both brown eyes.

• They have both blue eyes.

What does it mean if an offspring is homozygous for a trait?

• It has two different alleles for that trait.

• It has one dominant and one recessive.

• It has two identical allele for one trait.

• It has three alleles for that trait.

What does a Punnett square predict?

• The exact genetic makeup of anindividual

• The probability of offspring inheriting certain traits.

• The number of chromosomes in an organism.

• The mutations that will occur in DNA.

What do the letter inside the Punnett square represent?

• The possible genotype of offspring.

• The number of chromosomes in a cell.

• The phenotype of the parent.
