Heterozygous Genotypes
Heterozygous genotypes represent plants carrying two different alleles at one or more genetic loci. In cannabis breeding, heterozygous individuals are foundational to hybrid development and trait segregation studies. These plants typically display intermediate or dominant phenotypes depending on allele dominance hierarchies. Breeders commonly work with heterozygotes to map trait inheritance, stabilize desired characteristics across generations, and introduce genetic diversity into breeding lines. Understanding heterozygosity is essential for predicting offspring phenotype ratios and managing inbreeding coefficients in controlled breeding programs.

Heterozygous parents are central to F1 hybrid production and backcrossing strategies. Breeders use heterozygotes to explore recessive traits, establish trait linkage patterns, and develop segregating populations for phenotypic selection.
