👉 Heterogonously is a biological term that refers to two or more organisms with different forms of genetic material. It describes an organism where both male and female gametes are produced but the sex determination mechanism differs between them. This can occur in plants, animals, and fungi. For example, in the plant family, the pea (Pisum sativum), heterogonously produces two types of seeds: one with a male pollen grain and one with a female pollen grain.
