What do the letters inside the grid of a punnet square represent?

These letters represent gene combinations. If the male has two genes for one trait: AA, and the female has two genes for the same trait:aa, the offspring will get one (A) and one (a) from each and together the offspring will have Aa for its' trait.
This Punnett square helps to show what the crosses will be and in what ratio.

The haploid gametes of the parents go on the outside of the Punnett square. The results that you get when you cross-multiply the male and female gametes of the parents are the diploid offspring, which goes inside the boxes.

How are dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a punnet square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
In a Punnett square a capital letter stands for a allele.?
Capital letters on Punnett Squares represent dominant genes, while lowercase letters represent recessive genes. For example, if the trait "T" is a tall gene and the trait "t" is a short gene. When you get your results (if both parents are heterozygous for tallness, Tt) you get four possible results, 1 TT (homozygous tall), 2 Tt (twice, heterozygous tall Tt), and 1 tt (homozygous short). If there is a dominant gene there, that gene will be displayed. Only if there are two recessive genes will the recessive trait be displayed.

A punnet square uses letters to represent dominant and recessive alleles.
What do the capital and lower case letters in a punnet square represent?
capital letters are dominant traits. Lower case letters are recessive traits.
What does each cell of a punnet square represent?
A genotypic combination
What does a capital letter in a punnet square represent?
A dominant gene
What does each parent produce along the side of a punnet square?
Two letters which represent that parent's traits. They might be called alleles (its been a while).
What does a capital letter such as T represent in a pundit Square?
A capital letter in a Punnet Square represents a dominate allele.
How do you work a punnet square?

How is the letters inside each punnet square determined?
a+b+c=4 a^2+b^2+c^2=10 a^3+b^3+c^3=22 Hope that helps. :)
What is a non-example for a punnet square?
A banana is a good example of a punnet square since it has absolutely nothing to do with a punnet square.
What do the letters on the inside of the punnet square stands for?
Using Punnett Squares, you can predict the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring of a cross between a homozygous (purebred) tall pea plant and a homozygous (purebred) short pea plant.
