However, considering the positive effects that heterozygosity can have on fitness (Reed & Frankham, 2003 ) and the results from the other experiments presented here, there are reasons to suspect they may be significant. 4.2 Number of heterozygous loci and growth rate plasticity Comparing diploid individuals, we found that the sampled sporophytes showed only two levels of heterozygosity: two and three heterozygous loci.
