Detailed explanation-1: -Definition. 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-2: -(HOH-moh-ZY-gus JEE-noh-tipe) 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: -Homozygous – having identical genes (one from each parent) for a particular characteristic.
Detailed explanation-4: -Individuals carrying two identical alleles (RR or rr) are known as homozygous.
Detailed explanation-5: -Being homozygous for a particular gene means you inherited two identical versions. It’s the opposite of a heterozygous genotype, where the alleles are different. People who have recessive traits, like blue eyes or red hair, are always homozygous for that gene.
