What can Punnett

Squares help you do?

What are the 2 types of

Punnett Squares?
In the video, A
Beginners Guide to
Punnett Squares, Mr.
Andersen crossed 2
plants heterozygous for
purple flowers. Show
the cross in the box to
your right using P and
p.

What does the 9:3:3:1

ratio tell you?

One flower is
heterozygous red (Rr)
and it is crossed with a
homozygous white (rr)
plant. Create a Punnett
square to determine
the probability of one
of their offspring
having a red color.

In a species of plant,
the color purple (P) is
dominant to the color
white (p). If a
homozygous purple
plant is crossed with
a homozygous white
plant,
What is the
probability of the
offspring being
purple?
What about
white?
