1. What is a Punnett square, and how is it used in predicting the inheritance of traits?
2. Explain the difference between dominant and recessive traits. Provide an example of each from Mendel's experiments.
3. If a homozygous yellow pea plant (YY) is crossed with a homozygous green pea plant (yy), what will be the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring? Use a Punnett square to illustrate your answer.
