This resource focuses on predicting inheritance through the use of Punnett squares. Students are tasked with setting up Punnett squares to represent genetic crosses and calculating the resulting genotype and phenotype ratios. The document contains several problems involving crosses between different pea plant traits, such as height, eye color, seed shape, and flower color. It encourages students to demonstrate their understanding of dominant and recessive alleles by filling in blank grids and analyzing offspring probabilities. Clear directions guide the students to place parent alleles appropriately and ensure they grasp the concept of genetic inheritance.
