The Punnett square is a tabular summary of possible combinations of maternal alleles with paternal alleles. [9] These tables can be used to examine the genotypical outcome probabilities of the offspring of a single trait (allele), or when crossing multiple traits from the parents.
A Punnett square depicting a cross between two pea plants heterozygous for purple (B) ... is the simplest form of reproduction and is the basis for asexual ...
Punnett square for three-allele case (left) and four-allele case (right). White areas are homozygotes. Colored areas are heterozygotes. Consider an extra allele frequency, r. The two-allele case is the binomial expansion of (p + q) 2, and thus the three-allele case is the trinomial expansion of (p + q + r) 2.
Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. The offspring that arise by asexual reproduction from either unicellular or multicellular organisms inherit the full set of genes of their single parent and thus the newly created individual is genetically and ...
A Punnett square depicting a cross between two pea plants heterozygous for purple (B) ... asexual reproduction may occur in plants by several different mechanisms.
Punnett squares showing typical test crosses and the two potential outcomes. The individual in question may either be heterozygous, in which half the offspring would be heterozygous and half would be homozygous recessive, or homozygous dominant, in which all the offspring would be heterozygous.
Each has one allele for purple and one allele for white. In the offspring, in the F 2-plants in the Punnett-square, three combinations are possible. The genotypic ratio is 1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb. But the phenotypic ratio of plants with purple blossoms to those with white blossoms is 3 : 1 due to the dominance of the allele for purple.
A Punnett square for one of Mendel's pea plant experiments - self-fertilization of the F1 generation, shows that inheritance is particulate, not blending. Further information: Mendelian inheritance and Germ plasm
