Punnett Squares are used by geneticists to determine the likely genotypes of the offspring of two parents.

That's correct - it's a square where on one axis, the paternal allele (allele = one of the possible forms of the same gene), and on another the maternal allele is listed. Often, it's also indicated whether an allele is recessive or dominant.

Then, in the table that results, all the possible "combinations" of allele between the paternal and maternal party are created. If you count how often a certain combination appears, it indicates the likelihood of that combination.
See the picture (though it is directly from Wikipedia, please note). The likelihood of BB is 25%, of Bb is 50%, and of bb 25%.

In fetal circulation, the __________ bypasses the liver and the __________ bypasses the lungs. ligamentum venosum; ligamentum ar
pochemuha
In fetal circulation, the ductus venosus bypasses the liver and the ductus arteriousus bypasses the lungs. Ductus arteriosus also called ductus botalli is a blood vessel connecting the main pulmonary artery to the  proximal ascending aorta. It does allow most of the blood from right ventricle to bypass the fetus's fluid-filled non-functioning lungs. Ductus venosus on the hand allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver.

A situation in which the coefficient of coincidence is greater than 1.0 would indicate that: A. no double crossovers were found
damaskus [11]

Answer:

B. there were more double crossovers in the progeny than would be expected based on probability

Explanation:

Crossing over or recombination can be defined as the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Moreover, the coefficient of coincidence is the number of double recombinants found in the progeny. The coefficient of coincidence can be estimated by the following equation:  

Coefficient of coincidence  (COC) = ADRF / EDRF

where ADRF = Actual Double Recombinant Frequency

and  EDRF = Expected Double Recombinant Frequency

In the case above described, ADFR is higher than EDRF, and therefore COC will be higher than 1.
