heterogeneous
Significado: Diverse in character or content; composed of parts or elements of different kinds.
Heterogeneous is the opposite of homogeneous. In science, a heterogeneous mixture has visibly different components (e.g., oil and water). In social and academic contexts, it describes groups with varied backgrounds, characteristics, or compositions. It is generally neutral or positive, implying richness of diversity. It collocates with 'group,' 'mixture,' 'population,' 'sample,' and 'environment.'
