Genes are scrolls you buy to put on a dragon you have, or buy dragons that have them already. There's three kinds, a Primary gene, a Secondary Gene, and a Tertiary Gene.
They don't randomly appear.
Though I should warn you, Genes cost alot.

Nope. Also a thing to know about genes is that you can't put a new gene or breed change on a dragon that is nesting (found that one out the hard way)
Edit: Here are some cool links to play around with too!

No, the offspring will all only have genes that the parents have. But some have a higher chance of being passed on than others. If you breed dragons with two different primary genes, say basic and clown, the offspring will have either basic or clown primary. But basic has a higher chance of being passed on than clown does. I hope that helps!

Nah. One or both parents must have the gene for the offspring to get/have a chance at getting the gene.

Genes are bought or bred onto dragons. Different genes have different chances of showing up, with basic (aka no genes) having the best chance of showing up. Buying genes costs a lot of money while hatchlings with the particular gene can be relatively cheap.

Not a dumb question at all!
Genes come in different levels of rarity, from Basic all the way up to the gem genes (Crystal, Facet, Iridescent, Shimmer, Circuit). When dragons with genes that have the same rarity breed, their offspring have a 50-50 chance of getting the gene from their mom or from their dad. Genes of different rarity are a bit skewed – offspring will be more likely to inherit the less rare gene. But in the end, you will never see offspring a gene that neither parent has (unless you give them a gene scroll, that is).

Hello, @MeerkatWarlord! I've moved your thread over to the Help Center, this is the proper place to ask questions about the game. :) I see you've already received some good answers.

Also, if you ever have questions on which genes are more common, or which have a greater chance of being passed on to offspring, I've found this guide to be very helpful. ^.^
