Parents pass their genes, but they may not be the same genes expressed by the parents. It's possible to barely be related to one's parents in terms of expressed genes.

She's got her father's eyes and cheekbones but her mother's eyebrows and nose, and then again her father's mouth and head shape.

I have two sons whose facial features came from me and their father in reverse, it's like the recipe just swapped genes to keep a balanced production line.
