There’s such a thing as a recessive trait, and that can travel unnoticed / unexpressed for generations, then suddenly pop up. What I’m saying in that diagram is, normally people have 46 chromosome pairs, which means that (at least) 18 of the gr-gr-gr-gr-grandparents haven’t passed down ANY chromosomes at all to you.

And yet the “traits” somehow get through...
Here’s one for ya. My dad had jet black hair, was blue eyed, short, tilted towards pudgy, left handed, dyslexic, and brilliant. He was an artist, writer, musician, a magnificent singer, (Kohen,) and scholar who was studying to become a surgeon but an accident cost him two fingers on his left hand. So he became an architect.
My mother had red hair, hazel eyes, was right handed, tall, slender, artistic. She was an fine artist, a musician, composer, and poetress.
I am ambidextrous and dyslexic. I have red hair, blue eyes, barely 5’3” and 100 pounds (give or take two or three.)
My daughter is a left handed, reddish blond, blue eyed, artistic beauty. Am watching for dyslexia and brilliance...not necessarily in that order
ta dum!
