A punnet square predict the traits of offspring genetic crosses and test crosses.

Explanation:

In pea plants, the traits or characteristics inheritance is been observed and studies by Gregor Mendel. A model was proposed by him, in which the characteristics or traits are specified from genes. Genes can take different alleles or versions. The appearance of an organism can be determined by the dominant alleles. These hides the characteristics of recessive alleles.

The law of segregation is, When gametes are made by an organism the copy of one gene is passed to each gametes. The combinations of allele which is genotype, and the phenotypes which are the characteristics that are observable can be predicted by a Punnett square. This is done by genetic crosses. In order to predict whether the organism is heterozygous or homozygous can be determined by a test crosses.

Answer:

beneficial mutation

Explanation:

A mutation is any alteration in the genetic material of an organism. In general, mutations have a negative impact on the fitness (or reproductive success) of the individual that carries this mutation; however, there are situations where a mutation may be beneficial for the individual in a given environment. When a beneficial mutation occurs in the germline, it potentially can be passed to the next generation and progressively increases its frequency in the population.
