A punnet square determines all of the ways in which alleles can combine. It may be used to predict ratios of offspring genotypes and phenotypes. However, Punnet squares cannot determine actual outcomes. They can only predict the possibility for things to happen. The exception to this takes place when the cross occurs with two homozygous dominant or recessive genes and the resulting offspring is either be 100% homozygous dominant or recessive.
First, any soft tissue that was present in life decays, leaving behind the hard parts: bones, teeth, shells. This usually happens very quickly as a result of bacterial action.
