How can we use probabil-
ity to predict traits?

The probability to predict traits can be determined by the outcomes of a punnet square. The punnet square is a diagram which illustrates the possible genotype and phenotypes of the outcomes of a cross. Punnet squares use probability to predict the combinations of alleles in a genetic cross. The combination of alleles determine the probability of traits being transferred from parents to offsprings.

the transfer of energy between two molecules spaced just nanometers apart plays a key role in many technologies, including photovoltaics, quantum information systems, lighting, and sensors, as well as in biophysics to measure nanometer distances and in photosynthesis. but an open question in this area is what effect, if any, the surrounding photonic environment has on this nanoscale energy transfer. by designing and performing a carefully controlled experiment to answer this question, scientists have settled the debate and found clues to improving the efficiency of many of the technologies that rely on this process.
