This allows for the examination of chromosomal abnormalities and the diagnosis of genetic disorders. A locus refers to a specific location on a chromosome, a map typically refers to a genetic or physical map of a chromosome or genome, a Punnett square is a tool used to predict the possible offspring genotypes resulting from a cross between two individuals, and genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an individual.
