The answer I believe is E because the Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment. The diagram is used by biologists to determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype. Punnett squares are also used to show all of the combinations of alleles that might result from a cross and the likelihood that each might occur.
