I just feel the need to be clear, I wasn't taking about the descendants having anything like the Sage's power, just the theoretical inheritance of genes. That means that, again, taking the assumption that being a reincarnation has any affect on genetics, that their descendants could inherit any trait/chromosome from the Otsutsuki.

Like Boruto clearly inherited his dad's hair, which we know comes from Minato, but I'm not gonna say he has a quarter of Minato's power, just blonde spiky hair.

Himawari inherited Hinata's hair, her dad's eyes and seemingly the power to take out the Hokage in one blow, so clearly she's 100% badass. XD

Sarada seemingly inherited next to no obvious traits from Sakura, looking largely like members of the Uchiha.

On top of that, we do also have to include the concept of selective breeding/inbreeding in maintaining bloodline traits and the fact that distant members of the same clan aren't really bothered by dating each other.

Like the Hyuga all have the same pale lavender eyes normally, but this isn't a necessary trait for them to use Byakugan since Himawari inherited her dad's eyes, but can still use Byakugan.

It's all a big hodgepodge, but when I was talking about things like 25% Otsutsuki, I meant things like "Maybe Boruto and Sarada's kid will look a bit like Asura, in theory" not "The kid will be one quarter Sage of Sixth Paths power."
