have you made a punnet square of this?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, and I can solve it that way, but is there any other possibility to solve it without the use of a punnet square? I think my teacher mentioned the use of fractions or something.

geometry_hater · Answer

I think your teacher is asking is look for some fractions within the punnet square and i think those are your answers (sorry i cant help much im only high school level biology)

anonymous · Answer

Okay, thanks for the help. I'm in high school bio as well. Quite a frustrating class.

punnet square is the way you need to get the answer. the punnet square is a simple way of finding a fractional probability for those questions. just stick to ur punnet square and dont over complicate things
