It was the simple diagram that could not only make you feel like a knowledgeable budding geneticist, but could also help you figure out the probability of your kids having blue eyes in the case the cute classmate you had a crush on agreed to live with you happily ever after.<\/p>\n<p>The Punnett Square is a visual representation of Gregor Mendel&#8217;s laws of inheritance. They are three and they posit that 1) alternative forms of a gene (allele pairs) separate randomly during the production of an egg or sperm (gametes), so that each gamete only carries one form of the gene; 2) each pair of alleles segregates independently of other pairs during the formation of an egg or sperm; 3) the genotype of an individual is made of many alleles (after a random pairing of an egg and a sperm, each of which carries a random form of the gene), and the phenotype of an individual (the visible expression of the genotype) is determined by the dominant alleles and the environment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bigthink.com\/design-for-good\/eggs-may-get-to-decide-which-sperm-to-fertilize-them\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">https:\/\/bigthink.com\/design-for-good\/eggs-may-get-to-decide-which-sperm-to-fertilize-them<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAEL\u2019S COMMENT: It\u2019s always the women who choose\u2026 &#038;nbsp [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":71,"featured_media":336721,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-238678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/71"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/336721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
