Heterozygous[Heterozygous]

Definition:

In genetics, heterozygous is a genotype with dissimilar alleles; one is dominant while the other is recessive.

Compared with homozygous cannabis seeds, there is a degree of instability among heterozygous cannabis seeds. There is a probability that undesirable recessive genes will appear, and growers would require using resources to eliminate them.
