No, they are predictions of the probability of certain traits getting passed on. A Punnett Square provides a visual representation of all possible allele combinations from the parents, but the actual outcome for any individual offspring is determined by chance. The percentages indicate the likelihood of different genotypes occurring, but they do not guarantee specific outcomes for each child.

Yes, they are calculated that way
