What do the letters inside and outside the punnett square represent?

A Punnett square is used to find out the possible genotypes of the next generation after a cross from 2 parents.

Usually, the letters outside the box are the genotypes of the parents, and the letter inside is the possible genotypes of their next generation.

The image inserted is an example of a Punnett square (made in MS word). It shows the cross of parents with genotypes Aa, and thus leads to possible next generation with genotypes of either AA, Aa or aa.

The diagrammatic representation of the predicted genotype and phenotype is known as the Punnett Square. The representation of the diagram is named after Reginald Punnett.

The letters outside the Punnett Square represent the parental genotypes.

Find the attachment given below.

Punnett Square is the representation of the parent genotypes to predict the genotype and phenotype of the future progeny.

Let the parent genotype be heterozygous for dominant green leaf, and purebred recessive for yellow leaves.

The predicted genotype of the offspring will be 50% heterozygous dominant green, and 50% purebred recessive yellow. Check the square given below.

Therefore, the letters in the Punnett Square represent the genotype of the parent.
