Questions:

1) A Punnett square for 1 character can produce up to 4 different genotypes, which is why it has 4 squares. A Punnett square for 2 characters can produce up to 16. How many genotypes can a cross involving 3 characters produce? (Hint: 41=4, 42=16, 43=...) What about 4 characters?

2) Humans have about 20,000 genes. If each gene had two alleles (not actually true since some have only one and other far more than two), how many different genotypes could be produced from a single mating event?

3) How does you answer to 20 explain diversity we see in humans, even between siblings? Are we all actually unique as a snowflake?
