Closest Answer is Punnett Square, defined as:

A diagrammatic representation of a particular cross used to predict the progeny of the cross. A grid used as a graphic representation of the progeny zygotes resulting from different gamete fusions in a specific cross.

All the others are merely terms in discussing biological parts of the genetic makeup.

-------------------------------
Allele
Alternative form of a genetic locus; a single allele for each locus is inherited separately from each parent (eg, at a locus for eye color the allele might result in blue or brown eyes).

genotype
The entire genetic identity of an individual, including alleles, or gene forms, that do not show as outward characteristics. (Close, but not as asked, a "picture representation" and does not include prediction of offspring)'

gene
The fundamental physical and functional unit of heredity.

Artist's conception of phenotypic projection... but that's not on the list.

Put down "Punnett Square."

Genotype, if I don't remember wrong.
