The production of gametes by the parents, formation of zygotes, the F1 and F2 plants, can be understood from a diagram called :
- ANet square
- BBullet square
- CPunch square
- DPunnett square
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
Punnett square is a tool that helps to show all possible allelic combinations of gametes in a cross of parents with known genotypes in order to predict the probability of their offspring possessing certain sets of alleles. For a cross involving two genes, a Punnett square is still a good strategy.
