In his laboratory, Jin is studying the genetics of mice. For a particular trait, an adult female mouse has the alleles AA, and an adult male mouse has the alleles Aa. Which of these questions could Jin answer by using a Punnett square

Hello. You forgot to introduce the answer options. The options are:

Do these two adult mice have any other alleles in common?

Is this gene associated with an inherited trait or an acquired trait?

Are AA and Aa the only alleles present in these two adult mice?

What possible combinations of alleles could the offspring of these adults inherit?

Answer:

What possible combinations of alleles could the offspring of these adults inherit?

Step-by-step explanation:

The Punnett square is a diagram where a table is established and the alleles of the progenitors of an offspring are positioned in different places on that table, allowing combinations between the alleles of the parents to form the offspring to be seen. In other words, the Punnet square allows the separation of the parents' gametes to discover the genotypes of their descendants.

For this reason, the student could use this diagram to answer the question:

"What possible combinations of alleles could the offspring of these adults inherit? "
