How the gotras of Sri Krsna and Pandavas can be different?

While reading srimad bhagavatam and mahabharata i found that the chandravamshi king Yayati had sons-Yadu and Puru from whom the Yadava and Kuru dynasty respectively came.They both had sane ancestor-Chandradeva-the moon god and their gotra would be atreya(descendants of atri muni).then how Kunti maharani and Subhadra devi both the daughters of Yadu vansha got narried in Kuru vamsha,as same gotra marriages are never allowed by scriptures.

marriage between a boy and his mother's brother's son is allowed.Well, it is still practiced among South Indians.

Since Kunti was adopted by Kuntibhoja (though she was biological daughter of Surasena, the father of Vasudeva), her gotra changed. Thus, marriage occurred between individuals belonging to different gotra and is in line with the gotra considerations during marriage.
