Schematic diagram of allopolyploidy. Chromosome complements are shown for two imaginary organisms, both diploid and with two pairs of chromosomes. When crossed, they produce a sterile F1 hybrid in which chromosomes do not pair. Chromosome doubling leads to an allotetraploid, with one full (doubled) genome from each parent.
