Review Chapter 8. Part 4 of 8 - Lecture ELF 9.0 Points Question 16 of 31 3.0 Points What is the purpose of a Punnett Square? • A. it is a way to visualize only the phenotype in a population • B. it is a way to visualize only the genotype of a cross • C. it is a way to visualize the chromosomes in a population • D. it is a way to visualize the phenotype and genotype of a cross Feedback:Mendel used a Punnett Square to determine what the peas looked like, both in color as well as genetically.

Part 7 of 8 - Lab Essay 5.0 Points Question 30 of 31 5.0 Points In 2-3 sentences, what was the overall purpose of the lab for this week? The overall objective of experiment 2 is to see which stickle cell fish has complete, reduced, or absent pelvic by examining fossils from two different lakes. Comment: you are on the right track, but what can we learn from that bone? The purpose of the lab is to examine the Stickleback fish's pelvis over time. It presence or absence of the pelvis tells of the environment during that time in it's history, and how the species have evolved over time.
