With a normal coin , the chance of tossing heads is 1/2 , and the chance of
tossing tails is 1/2 . The probability of drawing the ace of spades from a 52 – card
deck is 1/52 . The probabilities of all possible outcomes for an event must add up
to 1.

With seed shape in pea plants as the heritable character , the genotype of Fı
plants is Rr . Segregation in a heterozygous plant is like flipping a coin : Each
egg produced has a 1/2 chance of carrying the dominant allele ( R ) and a 1/2

We cannot predict with certainty the exact numbers of progeny of different
genotypes resulting from a genetic cross . But the rules of probability give us the
chance of various outcomes . Usually , the larger the sample size , the closer the
results ...
