What does each compartment of the punnet square representt?

Each compartment of a Punnett square represents a possible genotype for offspring resulting from the genetic cross between two parents. The rows typically denote the alleles contributed by one parent, while the columns represent the alleles from the other parent. The intersections within the compartments show the combinations of these alleles that can occur in the offspring. This visual tool helps predict the probability of inheriting specific traits based on parental genotypes.
