Punnett Squares
Punnett squares are a vital tool in genetics, providing a visual representation of possible offspring genotypes resulting from specific parental combinations. Developed by British geneticist Reginald Punnett in the early 20th century, these grids allow for the prediction of genetic outcomes based on Mendelian principles. By organizing parental alleles along the axes and systematically combining them, Punnett squares offer a straightforward method for understanding inheritance patterns and probabilities. This tool has become indispensable in various fields, from agriculture to medicine, facilitating the study of genetic traits and the prediction of hereditary diseases.
