Default Cross-Pollinating

I'm a newbie to veg growing but I'm okay so far but I've got a query about
Chillies and Peppers. Is it possible for chillies (Jalapeno) to
cross-pollinate with peppers (not sure what variety).

I've got numerous plants in various positions in the garden, some in a
mini-greenhouse. My Jalapenos' fruit have grown a bit fat and stubby except
for a couple of plants which have long thin chillies. The plants that have
fat stubby chillies are next to Pepper plants, but the long thin ones are
away from the peppers. To confuse things they also have different soils
conditions.

Is the difference due to the soil or can they cross-pollinate.

I hope this isn't a stupid question.

Siggy
