Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the question is about the historical development of a specific genetic tool called the Punnett square.
Recall that the Punnett square is a diagram used to predict the genotypes of offspring from a genetic cross based on the alleles of the parents.
Identify the scientist credited with creating this tool, which is named after him, indicating his direct association with its development.
Recognize that Reginald C. Punnett is the geneticist who developed the Punnett square, while Gregor Mendel is known for foundational work on inheritance patterns, Thomas Hunt Morgan for work on chromosomes and sex-linked traits, and James D. Watson for discovering the DNA double helix structure.
Conclude that the correct answer to the question is Reginald C. Punnett, as he developed the Punnett square.
