ok thank you

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

so the punnett..do u know how to do it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is the picture..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And no i do not @shrutipande9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya it's D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmmmm.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok it's D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

medal please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you know that its D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll medal you, if the answers are correct.

|dw:1426007233488:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because if you look at the picture it is mostly blue that's how I know

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

D is not correct...this is how u do a punnett square..can u fill in the rest?

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

@coolman500 it is not appropriate to give just answers..and that too a wrong one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope.. :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

see i have pointed arrows as to how to fill the squares..do likewise..and then..if u get the genotype BB or Bb then the wings are blue. But if u get bb then the wings are yellow...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its C. :P

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

fill in the punnett u will understand...its not C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still don't get it.

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

|dw:1426007640133:dw| can u fill the one i have pointed now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't get how a Punnet graph works you never explained that.

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

see...u have 2 parents...right? one has the genotype BB ie blue wings and the other has bb yellow wings...correct? this is given

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

so what u do while making a punnet square is...separate the 2 letters in a genotype, which forms alleles....so BB will be separated as B and B. then write 2 letters of 1 genotype at the top and then next 2 letters of second genotype at the left side the way i hv written. Now u fill in the squares the way i have shown. When u fill the squares thats when u make a cross.
