Detailed explanation-1: -Homozygous also refers to a genotype consisting of two identical alleles of a gene for a particular trait. An individual may be homozygous dominant (AA) or homozygous recessive (aa). Individuals who are homozygous for a trait are referred to as homozygotes. See heterozygous.
Detailed explanation-2: -A hybrid organism is one that is heterozygous, which means that is carries two different alleles at a particular genetic position, or locus. Therefore, a dihybrid organism is one that is heterozygous at two different genetic loci.
Detailed explanation-3: -Homozygous: Having two identical alleles for a trait. Example: TT 13.
Detailed explanation-4: -Purebred-Also called HOMOZYGOUS and consists of gene pairs with genes that are the SAME.
Detailed explanation-5: -An individual inherits two alleles, one from each parent, for any given genomic location where such variation exists. If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that allele. If the alleles are different, the individual is heterozygous.
