Photo of Blue Squares?

I've got some "Blue Star" morning glories, and recently, one produced a bloom with four only lobes, rather than the usual five (the five-lobed flower behind it in the photo is the next node down on the same vine).
I tagged the flower, which has since turned into a seed pod, and has been maturing nicely on the vine.

Will the seeds from this pod make vines that are more likely to have four-lobed flowers than usual, or is that not the way that it works?
(I probably should have paid more attention in biology class when they were teaching us about dominant and recessive genes)
