It's very, very hard, impossible in some cases. If you know the parents' genotype, then you can make a Punnett Square, but it's also possible that you might be left with just the probabilities of what might happen. Parents may go to genetic counseling to help determine the genotype of their child, especially if there is a history of a certain disorder in the family. As genetic engineering and "designer babies" become more and more common, then parents will be able to decide the genotype of their baby before it is even conceived.

Chlorobiastic
How are Punnet Sqaures used in genetics?
Punnett squares are a visual representation of how alleles from two parents can combine to produce offspring with different genotypes. They are used to predict the probability of certain traits being passed on to offspring based on the parents' genotypes. By filling in the squares with possible allele combinations, geneticists can determine the likelihood of specific traits appearing in the offspring.
Why spending money to look for a man on mars?
We're not necessarily looking for life, Mars may help us predict Earth's future.

What does the offspring look like when an organism is cloned?
No because though the parents are copys the offspring would be 2 sex cells (egg and sperm) and those 2 cells are unique made by the clones body.
What will help you predict what an offspring will look like?
nothing can determine what the offspring will look like except for the dominant alleles for eye color

What can you predict about the offspring if you know the genotypes of the parents?
So, if one parent is Aa (heterozygous) and the other parent is aa (homozygous recessive) the punnett square would look like this: ___|_A__|__a_ _a_|_Aa_|_aa_ _a_|_Aa_|_aa_ The genotypes of the offspring 50% heterozygous and 50% homozygous recessive

Porcupines look like little bugs when they are in offspring they don't look exatually what they look like when they are out. When they are offspring they are resting and waiting for winter. I know because i remember this book in 2nd Grade about porcupines.

For a codominant traiit do the offspring of identical parents always look like the parent why?
No, the offspring of identical parents would not always look like the parents because everyone has dominant and recessive traits, where the recessive traits do not show but is still in DNA. That said, recessive traits not shown in parents can be passed on as dominant traits to offspring - making offspring not always identical to its parents. (this is also called genetic variation)
