Genes are determined by heredity; they are inherited from both male and female parents, who in turn inherited their genes from their parents, etc. In the broad perspective, genes are the product of biological evolution. There is also a minor element of random chance, which you might call luck.

Genes are determined by a combination of genetic inheritance from parents and random mutations that can occur during DNA replication. While there is an element of chance involved in the genetic makeup of an individual, genetic traits are largely dictated by the genetic material inherited from parents.

The process that determines which genes survive?
The process that determines which genes survive is called natural selection. In this process, individuals with beneficial traits that help them survive and reproduce are more likely to pass on their genes to the next generation. Over time, this leads to a higher frequency of those beneficial genes in the population.
