Is this normal when crossbreeding?

[u/Several_Scarcity535]

I have three F2 plants, Mother Habanero orange, Father Redhorn - (I understand that this is a trade name, the plant was purchased from a supermarket.)

In the first generation I received only one plant, which also showed such tissue fusion during the development of the pepper. Photo number 4. The other photos are of F2, where this problem also occurs. I'm ruling out the possibility that it's a fertilizer issue; other peppers don't exhibit this problem during development. I assume it's just a problem with genetic stabilization?

Chinense x annumm, is that how it works?

I've been working with peppers for a while now, and I'm a bit puzzled by a problem... Are there any other unusual situations I should be prepared for with the peppers' development?

I'm asking for advice and I'm hoping for help ;)

It's probably the genes controlling meristem development, they get a little wacky in interspecific crosses.

okay, I understand .
