The results of genetic crosses can be predicted using a chart called a Punnett square. In a Punnett square, the possible male and female gametes of each parent are written across the side and top of the square. The interior squares represent every possible combination of gametes that could combine to form a zygote.
Explanation:
To fill in the square, look at the alleles of the games on the outside edges and bring them across and down to fill in the center of the square. If the offspring is heterozygous, we will write the capital letter in front of the lower case letter.
