Answer:
The correct answer is - Genotype of the offspring
Explanation:
Punnet square is a diagram which is used to predict and show the genotype of offspring that is produced by a cross between male and female gametes. This approach was given by Reginald C. Punnett.
Each grid have a genotype that can determine the phenotype of offspring. The letters used in to fill these grids can be made up of uppercase letters, lower case letters or both. The allele shown in upper case letters shows that the allele is dominant and the allele which is in lowercase letter is a recessive allele.
Therefore the letters inside the grid of a punnet square represents the genotype of the offsprings.
Balamuthia mandrillaris is an amoeba that was discovered in 1986 in the brain of the baboon that dies in San Diego Wild Animal Park. This can be found in the soil and water, therefore it is freely living. It is known to cause the neurological condition known as granulomatous amoebic encephalitis. In a study published by National Center for Biotechnology Information, it has a case fatality rate of >98%. Majority of this case can be found in warmer regions that affects individuals mostly of Hispanic origin. Documented cases had been reported from the Latin Americas in significant number, followed by the United States, Asian regions and some in Europe. However, a specific number of cases worldwide may never be known due to the following factors: lack of awareness, poor diagnosis and a poor public health system.
It is still yet to be known if its a serious public health concern worldwide.
