How are simple inherited traits passed from parents to their offspring and then to the next generation?

Simple inherited traits are passed down because each parent contains genes which are given to their offspring. The offspring inherits or receives these traits. The offspring then passes down those traits to their offspring. Each time there is a new generation, the original trait becomes less evident. The recessive traits decrease by a certain percent every time a new set of genes are added.
