Final answer:

Offspring inherit a combination of alleles from both parents, making it unpredictable which alleles for a given characteristic they will receive.


Explanation:

Offspring inherit two alleles, one from each parent, resulting in a mix of genetic information. The specific alleles obtained from each parent for a given characteristic are unknown due to the random assortment of alleles during gamete formation. This randomness contributes to the genetic diversity observed in offspring.
