Hello, I am not familiar with how genetics work on the site, but from what I could find from searching and from breeding dragons myself, the genetics are only pulled from the parents.

Do ancient breeds work differently? Both parents had starmap but she ended up with clown and a tertiary gene that neither parent had.

Wookieinmashoo Ancients work the same way as moderns, genes are only passed down by the parents.
When you see a dragon with different genes to the parents it means one of two things. Either the parents used to have different genes or the offspring has had their genes changed with a
gene scroll. In this case since all the other offspring of that pair have Starmap it looks like someone changed the genes of that dragon.

Genes only come from the parents. You either get one or the other in each slot (primary, secondary, tertiary). Some genes are rarer than others though.
This thread has a lot of good information regarding breed rarity. The same odds apply to genes.
This link displays the genes and their rarities.
So if you bred one parent that has iridescent (rare) in its primary and the other parent has clown (common) in its primary, you’d have roughly a 1/99 chance of getting iridescent instead of clown for their babies.
All of that applies to ancients as well
Colors work a little differently. You can get any range of colors from the parents. So if you had a parent with Moon as a primary and Gloom as a secondary you could get any color on the list between those two colors, including those two colors. So you could get: moon, ice, orca, platinum, silver, dust, grey, smoke, or gloom.
