A 16-square Punnett is time-consuming to draw out. Dr. Thompson can  easily solve this problem by decomposing her dihybrid crosses into separate monohybrid Punnett squares, which would also be quicker than using a forked line diagram. If so, how many individual monohybrid Punnett squares will she need to draw?   a) Four Punnett squares. b) Two Punnet squares. c) One Punnett square. d) Sixteen Punnett squares since there are 16 possible outcome
