explain why traits that aren’t present in either parent could show up in the offspring or in future generations of the offspring.

It can show because it can be a recessive trait that can be showed up in ones genes. Recessive traits can be less present in parent parents but if both parents have similar recessive traits it can be able to show up in offspring and future offspring. Also it can show in offsprings because of earlier generations. The parents might not have these traits but grandparents are great grandparents might have the traits.
