het·er·o·ge·ne·ous

With -eneous (not 'heterogenous', 'hetrogeneous' or 'heterogenious'); hetero- means different (heterosexual), homo- means same (homogeneous, homonym).

अंत में -eneous ('heterogenous', 'hetrogeneous' या 'heterogenious' गलत है); hetero- का अर्थ अलग है (heterosexual), homo- का अर्थ समान (homogeneous, homonym)।
