alleles, these alleles segregates or separates during gamete formation in Meiosis.

during meiosis.

I. VI.
Many years ago, when I was 23 Now that we have Gregory
I was married to a lovely lady, as pretty
As can be
“I like your beard” said she, on the day
That she met me
So I told her on that day, “will you marry me?
Came from Harry and her Daisy
Will a beard be shown in his daily?
If his mother also has a history.

II
We wed and had three daughters
All of which has found their partners
My daughters are now carriers
I’m sure the beard will have them prosper
III.
My eldest had twins
Both boys yes it seems
I guess now they’ve not stayed as
Babies
Because they’ve been chased after by
More ladies
IV.
My middle child chose not to
Maybe she’s not that into
Her husband agrees to it
I wonder why they don’t want to?
V.
The youngest fell in love early
And had five children that she raised
Fairly
Her only son, Harry, also wed early
I guess his beard also got him his Daisy
