Generation

A Punnett square is a simple grid tool that helps predict the possible genetic outcomes when two organisms reproduce. You place one parent's alleles (gene variants) along the top and the other parent's alleles down the side, then fill in the boxes by combining them to see all possible offspring combinations. Each box represents an equally likely genetic outcome, so you can calculate the probability of offspring having certain traits—for example, if 3 out of 4 boxes show a dominant trait, there's a 75% chance of that trait appearing. It's essentially a visual way to organize and apply Mendel's laws of inheritance.
