Gregor Mendel contributed to science by using the Punnett Square to predict the possible offspring traits from two parents. A small example would be a purebred purple (PP) common pea plant flower, bred with a purebred white (pp) pea plant flower. The set up of the Punnett Square would be: Purple on top, White on side - P P, p p. In the squares below, the corresponding letters will determine the trait, purple dominant allele (Pp).
