The Punnett square is a diagram that is used to understand inheritance, or traits that are passed down from generation to generation.
Genes come in different forms, known as alleles. You get one copy of each gene from each parent. So you can end up with two different alleles of the same gene.
Biologists use Punnett squares to determine the likelihood of an offspring having a particular combination of alleles of genes.
In a Punnett square, dominant traits are represented by capital, or uppercase, letters. Recessive traits are represented by lowercase letters.
The example of eye color in the image is hypothetical. In fact, eye color is actually a polygenetic trait. This means that it is influenced by more than one gene.
What does having a dominant allele mean?
