What does each compartment of the punnett square represents?

Each compartment of the Punnett square represents a possible genetic combination of alleles that offspring could inherit from their parents. The rows typically represent the alleles contributed by one parent, while the columns represent those from the other parent. By filling in each compartment, you can visualize the potential genotypes of the offspring based on the parental allele combinations. This helps predict the likelihood of certain traits appearing in the offspring.
