Sexually produced organisms combine the genes from both parents. It's a toss-up to see how many genes come from each parent.
My favorite example is the fraternal twins, Larry and Jerry. Larry is small-boned and dark-haired. Jerry is large-boned and blond. Larry seems to have gotten his physical genes from his mother, while Jerry inherited his father's characteristics.
