atemoya is a hybrid between Chrimoya (A. cherimola) and Sugar apple (A. squamosa) as you stated. I think your question is whether the atemoya seeds will produce an atemoya tree, or something else?

that would be 2nd generation atemoya.

A 1st generation atemoya is 50/50. 50% chermoya, 50% sugar apple
2nd generation atemoya can be 25/75 to 75/25. It will be at least 25% cherimoya and 25% sugar apple. The other 50% will be a variable mix of the two, somewhere along a poisson (bell-curve) probability distribution.

What did you use to pollinate the flower?
