[Blindtlk] introduction and punnett squares

[Aleeha Dudley]

Hi, 
     First off, welcome to the list! I learned punnet squares by literally
making a large grid out of tape on a lab bench. I used strings of pop beads,
some taped and some not, to represent the different gametes and the possible
offspring. It was only after I saw this in a 3D form that I understood what
these things were for. They are a very visual concept and sometimes can be
hard to understand. I would not use the BrailleNote because you need to be
able to see more than one line of text at a time. You might be able to do
one of these punnet squares on a Perkins Brailler, but I've never tried it.
Hope all of this helps. By the way, this list can be a fairly highly
trafficked list, but there are days when the traffic is low to medium, only
getting less than twenty messages a day. 
HTH, 
Aleeha

LOL this is the third time I've sent this, but in the address I accidentally
put bltlk, not blindtlk.
 Hi Everybody,
My name is Vejas.  I am a 15-year-old ninth-grader who lives in California.
Some of you may know me from Stylist.
I want to write to ask about Punnett squares.
I am really confused about them and don't understand them.
I want to know how do I make them? I usually write everything on my Braille
Note Apex, and do all my work except for math homework on it.  Is it best to
do it on the Perkins Brailler?
Also, I currently have quite a few sheets of graph paper from math class;
should I use these?
If anybody could explain how this works, that would be perfect.
Thank you very much.
Also, approximately how many emails per day does this list get?
Thanks.
Attached is a copy of my worksheet.  Just ignore Problem 10.  I can do that
on my own.
Also, could you tell me how you learned Punnetts, because I'm really
confused by them?
  Sincerely,
Vejas
