Abstract
The laws of inheritance lend themselves to many applications of probability. Statistical methods also depend on the mathematical theory of probability. Geneticists are constantly attempting to describe genetic systems on the basis of experimental data. Genetic events cannot be predicted with certainty; however, these events can have a particular likelihood of occurring. The measurement of the likelihood of these events is an example of the application of probability.
