The letters in each box of a Punnett square indicate the possible combinations of alleles in offspring based on the parents' genetic makeup. Each box represents a potential genotype resulting from the combination of alleles contributed by each parent.
A horticulturalist wants to produce geraniums with specific characteristics.
She knows that the trait of red flowers is governed by the allele R (RR and Rr) and the trait of white flowers is governed by the allele r (rr).
What do the letters in each box of a Punnett square indicate?
