Solution

The correct option is E Punnett square

One of the easiest ways to calculate the mathematical probability of inheriting a specific trait was invented by an English Geneticist named as Reginald Punnett. His technique was thus popularly accepted as Punnett square. It is the simplest graphical way of discovering all possible combinations of genotypes that may occur in offsprings.
