Predicting traits with statistics and probability

Traits in a population usually show a whole range of variation rather than just a couple of fixed options, and scientists use statistics and probability to describe how that variation is distributed across the population, why some versions of a trait are common and others are rare. That distribution depends on a mix of genetic factors, like which combinations of gene versions are present, and environmental factors, like nutrition or exposure to certain conditions.
