➼ predict the genotypic and phenotypic probabilities of possible offspring
➼ determine if a trait runs in a family
➼track inherited traits through many generations
➼identify organisms that are carriers of a specific trait

Answer 1

Hello,

The answer is option A "predict the genotypic and phenotypic probabilities of possible offspring".

Reason:

A Punnett square is used to determine (predict) the genotype, and phenotype of a organism. Phenotype is the physical features of a organism fur, ears, nose, etc.... Genotype is most likely the height, eye color, etc....

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

I think the answer its A because a Punnett square allows the prediction of the percentages of phenotypes in the offspring of a cross from known genotypes. A Punnett square can be used to determine a missing genotype based on the other genotypes involved in a cross.
