A Punnett square generator is a software tool that allows users to investigate genetic inheritance patterns visually. It enables geneticists and students to predict the probability of specific traits being passed down from parents to offspring. The generator typically requires input of the alleles present in the parents’ genotypes, and then calculates the possible combinations of alleles in the offspring, providing a clear visualization of the expected genotypes and phenotypes. This tool enhances understanding of Mendelian inheritance principles and facilitates the study of genetic disorders, genetic variation, and breeding strategies.
