Detailed explanation-1: -An organism in which both the genes (allele) for a given character are identical is said to be homozygous.

Detailed explanation-2: -The presence of two identical alleles at a particular gene locus. A homozygous genotype may include two normal alleles or two alleles that have the same variant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Organisms that have two identical alleles for a particular trait are said to be homozygous.

Detailed explanation-4: -Homozygous Homozygous, as related to genetics, refers to having inherited the same versions (alleles) of a genomic marker from each biological parent. Thus, an individual who is homozygous for a genomic marker has two identical versions of that marker.

Detailed explanation-5: -If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that allele. If the alleles are different, the individual is heterozygous.
