Question

In a genetic research lab, you come across this completed Punnett Square.

the Punnett square has a picture of an eye in the top left corner. the two squares on the right of the eye are brown "T"s. the two squares that are on the middle left and the bottom left are blue "t"s. the rest of the squares are "Tt"

How can data like this be used in genetic research?(1 point)

Answer 1

You can use it to predict inheritance: the square shows all offspring would be Tt (heterozygous) and therefore express the dominant brown-eye trait. Such Punnett-square data let researchers (and breeders) calculate genotype and phenotype probabilities and infer patterns of inheritance.
