  Punnett square - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Punnett square is genetic tool designed by Reginald Punnett that biologists continue to use in order to determine the probability of an offspring expressing a particular genotype.
In the Punnett square example above, 50 % of the offspring will have a dominant homozygous genotype (RR), and a 50% probability that the genotype will be heterozygous (Rr).
Using the genotypes of the two rats, a table is made putting one of the rat's genotype on the top row and the other rat's genotype down the left column.

 Punnett Squares [Athro, Limited: Biology: Genetics]
A Punnett square is a simple graphical way of figuring out how the genes from each parent might combine to produce an offspring.
The square has four boxes in it, fill each box with the allele above it from the mother, and the allele beside it from the father.
In addition to showing the possible genotypes of offspring, the Punnett square also indicates how likely a particular child of this mating is to have a given genotype.

To use a Punnett square, Take the parental genotypes, and determine all of the possible combinations of alleles that could occur in gametes.
Then, within the square, combine all of the possible gametes from each parent to produce all of the possible combinations of alleles in the offspring.
When gametes are combined to form new individuals (in the square), we see that 1/4 of the offspring should be DD, 2/4 (or 1/2) should be Dd, and 1/4 should be dd.
