The use of Punnett square in Mendel’s law helps in predicting the phenotype and genotypes from genetic crosses of offspring.
Explanation:
The study of trait inheritance in pea plants is performed by Gregor Mendel. He developed a model of pair of genes that specify the traits. There are different alleles of genes in a population of living organisms. His law of segregation states that one of the two copies of gene that is present in a specific organism gets distributed to gametes produced by it.
The F2 generation of gene is represented by Punnett model and by counting the squares of this model the genotype and the phenotype ratio can be predicted.
