Probability applies to heredity with the inheritance of certain genes and alleles that together make up heredity.

The question has to do with probability in that each parent cell can contribute one half of its genes. Because it splits through meiosis a parent cell can have one of two parts. The other parent cell has the same possibility of splits.

Therefore, one half times one half is one fourth. That is the probability of each gene being passed on.
