Heterozygous

Heterozygous refers to a genetic condition in which a cannabis plant carries two different alleles (gene variants) at the same locus. This is a fundamental concept in breeding rather than an aroma descriptor—plants displaying heterozygous traits often show more phenotypic variation within a single generation. Breeders working with heterozygous genetics frequently observe unstable expression of terpene profiles, cannabinoid ratios, and plant structure across offspring. Understanding heterozygosity is essential for stabilizing desirable aromatic and chemical traits through selective breeding programs.

Breeder relevance

Breeders intentionally work with heterozygous crosses to introduce genetic diversity and discover novel terpene combinations. Conversely, stabilizing lines through inbreeding aims to achieve homozygosity, locking in consistent aroma phenotypes for commercial seed production.
