Answer:

It is very similar to the way traits are inherited in nature, as both combinations occur by chance. Though, in the coin toss, there are only 2 possible alleles whereas in nature there may be more complicated combinations of alleles for traits.

Answer:

A coin represents a diploid, heterozygous cell with its heads and tails sides. The act of tossing the coin to land on heads or tails, provides an apt representation of the segregation of alleles during meiosis in the formation of gametes.

or i guess you could just say its all by chance ;P

peace :)
