If you are collecting F1 hybrid seeds, the seeds will look like the normal seeds of the female plant, but may be inviable. If the F1 plants are able to produce seeds (F2), then thier seeds would likely look different. Its hard to say what the seeds would like as every seedling from a cross is different and may show different traits in different expression levels from plant to plant.
