A Punnet square is a way of representing the possible combinations of genotypes in an offspring of two parents with differing genes. It is used to determine the probability that the offspring has a particular genotype.
The probability is 0.The probability is 0.The probability is 0.The probability is 0.
The probability is 1.The probability is 1.The probability is 1.The probability is 1.
For any event A, Probability (not A) = 1 - Probability(A)
Geneticists use probability to predict possible genotypes and phenotypes
A Punnett square is a diagram used to predict the outcome of a genetic cross. By filling in the squares with possible combinations of alleles from the parents, you can determine the percentages of different genotypes and phenotypes that are expected in the offspring. The genotypes and phenotypes can be calculated by counting the number of squares that represent each specific combination.
The genotypes in which one or more alleles is dominant.
No.
I think you have the question backwards, "Why isn't it possible to have more phenotypes than genotypes?" There are always more or an equal number of genotypes relative to phenotypes. The phenotype for a simple dominant/recessive interaction (for example) T for tall and t for short where TT is tall, Tt is tall and tt is short has three genotypes and two phenotypes. If T and t are co-dominant then TT would be tall, Tt would be intermediate and tt would be short. (Three phenotypes and three genotypes.)
Genotypes are not created by phenotypes, they are the alleles/genes of the organism. Genotypes (in combination with environment) produce phenotypes. It would be expected that the genotypes Bb and BB would produce the phenotype B.
Indirectly, yes it does. But it can only act on genotypes through their phenotypes.
Many possible genotypes, producing ,any possible phenotypes.
The number of possible genotypes is typically higher than the number of observable phenotypes because multiple genotypes can result in the same phenotype due to genetic variations, interactions, and environmental factors. Different combinations of genotypes and environmental influences can lead to similar outward traits, resulting in fewer distinct phenotypes than genotypes.
The parents can pass on only the alleles of their genotypes to their offspring. Therefore, the offspring genotypes and phenotypes are dependent solely upon the alleles inherited from the parents.
By observing the phenotypes of individuals in a pedigree (such as their physical characteristics or traits), one can infer the genotypes that may be responsible for those traits. By looking at patterns of inheritance within the pedigree, such as autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked inheritance, one can make educated guesses about the genotypes of individuals based on their observed phenotypes. However, the presence of genetic variability, incomplete penetrance, or phenocopies can complicate the prediction of genotypes solely based on phenotypic information.
The chart you are referring to is called a Punnett square. It is used to predict the possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring resulting from a genetic cross between two individuals.
