Answer 1

The probability of parents passing on a particular trait to their child is 0.5.

To express this probability as a percent:

• 0.5 × 100 = 50%

To express this probability as a fraction:

• 0.5 = 1/2

To describe this probability, you can use the phrase "equal likelihood" or "50/50 chance."

So, for Part 1: P(passing on the trait) equals 50%.
