Gender Equals Breed/Playing With

Basic Trope: The offspring of an Interspecies Romance or two distinct breeds/subspecies has the sons the same as their fathers and the daughters the same as their mothers.
 * Straight: Bob is a raccoon married to Alice, a skunk. Their daughter Claire is a skunk, and their son Dave is a raccoon.
 * Exaggerated: Alice and Bob have 12 babies; 6 male raccoons and 6 female skunks who are basically clones of their respective parents in every way.
 * Downplayed: Claire is a skunk, but she has a few of her father's traits.
 * Justified: Alice and Bob both belong to One Gender Races, or have Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism that can look like this trope.
 * Inverted:
 * Claire is a raccoon and Dave is a skunk.
 * Patchwork Kids
 * Subverted:
 * Alice and Bob learn that their child is going to be male and believe he will be a raccoon, but when he's born, he's black with white stripes.
 * Claire and Dave are both skunks.
 * Double Subverted: Because the doctors got the gender wrong.
 * Parodied: Dave is a skunk, but Alice and Bob refer to him as female and buy him pink clothes.
 * Averted:
 * Alice and Bob don't have offspring.
 * Alice and Bob have multiple children, with males and females of both raccoons and skunks.
 * Enforced:
 * "We're not putting some kind of raccoon-skunk hybrid in our show, that's too weird! Just make the boys raccoons and the girls skunks like their parents."
 * The artists don't want to have to design a bunch of brand new characters, so they just make the children smaller versions of their parents.
 * Lampshaded: "Awww, Dave looks just like his Daddy!"
 * Invoked:
 * Exploited:
 * Defied: Alice and Bob are both raccoons.
 * Discussed: ???
 * Conversed: ???
