Description: This example shows a pair of homologous chromosomes in a cell of a pea plant. The blue chromosome was inherited from the male parent and the red chromosome was inherited from the female parent. This individual is heterozygous for a height gene (Tt). The two homologues segregate from each other during meiosis, leading to segregation of the tall allele (T) and the dwarf allele (t) into different haploid cells.
