Homozygous Dominant
Homozygous dominant is a genetic condition, not an aroma itself, but describes how certain aromatic traits become fixed in cannabis lines. When a plant carries two copies of the same dominant allele for a trait (such as terpene production or expression pattern), that trait will reliably appear in all offspring. Breeders working toward stable, consistent strains often select for homozygous dominant individuals to ensure predictable aromatic profiles across generations. This contrasts with heterozygous plants, which carry mixed alleles and produce more variable offspring. Understanding homozygosity is foundational to developing seed lines where aroma, flavor, or other phenotypes breed true.

Breeders prioritize homozygous dominant plants in stabilization programs because they eliminate phenotypic variation in desired traits—including terpene expression and aroma intensity. Repeated selection and selfing of homozygous dominant individuals creates 'true-breeding' lines where aromatic characteristics remain consistent across multiple generations.
