Using Punnett Squares Dominant & Recessive Punnett Squares It is a special chart, or grid system, named after its inventor Reginald Crundall Punnett. (devised in the early 1900’s) Punnett Squares Geneticists often use Punnett squares to depict genetic crosses and to determine the possible gamete combinations of the offspring. Punnett Squares Punnett square: a diagram used to visualize genetic crosses (a chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross) Punnett Squares On the top- the possible gametes of the female are listed. Down the left sidethe possible gametes of the male are listed Punnett Squares The gametes are then combined in each of the boxes within the square to give the possible gamete combinations of the offspring. F f F FF F f f Ff f f 1:2:1 3:1 F1 Punnett Squares Besides showing possible gene pairings, a Punnett square gives the probability of each pairing. It shows how often, on the average, a given pairing will occur. F f F FF F f f Ff f f 1:2:1 3:1 F1 Punnett Squares Punnett squares cannot tell which traits a specific offspring will exhibit but rather the chance, or odds, of having certain traits 1:2:1 3:1 Punnett Squares The number of boxes in a Punnett square does not stand for the number of offspring an organism will produce. The boxes represent the genetic possibilities of the offspring. Punnett Squares A small # of offspringmay not have the exact ratio of gene pairings. 1:2:1 3:1
