Think about the actual physical process happening in the cell - the allele (or versions of a gene) are literally physical pieces of DNA strung together into chromosomes. And as the cell divides to form gametes, those chromosomes randomly assort themselves into the two new cells (conditional that each new cell gets one copy of each chromosome, in the case of gametes)...
