Alleles segregate from each other in meiosis , but join randomly in fertilization .
The behavior of a pair of alleles in a cross parallels the behavior of chromosomes in meiosis. The inheritance of one gene could depend on the inheritance of the other. For example, maybe purple kernels would always tend to be round, and yellow tend to be wrinkled. Choose symbols for genes and alleles and write the genotypes of the P1, and the F1. List all of the possible genotypes of gametes that can be made by the double heterozygote F1.
