What is the likelihood of inheriting a specific combination of alleles in an individual?

The likelihood of inheriting a specific combination of alleles in an individual is determined by the random assortment of alleles during meiOSis, which is the process of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and egg cells). This means that the chance of inheriting a specific combination of alleles is 50 from each parent, resulting in a unique genetic makeup for each individual.
