Homozygous Dominant
Homozygous dominant describes a plant carrying two identical dominant alleles for a particular trait at a given locus. In cannabis genetics notation, this is typically written as AA (where A represents the dominant allele). Homozygous dominant individuals will express the dominant phenotype and, when selfed or crossed with homozygous recessive plants, will breed true for that trait in the offspring. Breeders working toward stabilized cultivars rely on homozygous dominant genotypes to ensure consistent expression of desirable traits across generations. Understanding homozygosity is foundational to conventional breeding programs, particularly when working toward fixed seed lines or cultivar stabilization.

Breeders select for homozygous dominant genotypes when establishing true-breeding lines because offspring will reliably inherit and express the target trait without segregation. This consistency is essential for commercial seed production and multi-generational cultivar maintenance.
