Punnett squares do not help determine probability.

1 answer

Punnett squares help determine the probability of a phenotype because they show all possible combinations of alleles from the parents. This allows you to visualize how alleles can pair up in offspring, making it easier to predict the likelihood of specific phenotypes based on parental genotypes.
