Solution

A Punnett square is used to predict the possible outcomes of a genetic cross. It is a simple graphical way of discovering all of the potential combinations of genotypes that can occur in children, given the mother's and father's genotypes. It does not predict how many offspring will result from a genetic cross, nor does it determine if an offspring will be male or female. It also does not determine how many offspring will have a specific trait, but rather the probability of an offspring inheriting a specific trait.
