Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that allele. If the alleles are different, the individual is heterozygous.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, When two alleles of a gene are the same as their genotype, it is called homozygous.
Detailed explanation-4: -Heterozygous refers to having different alleles for a particular trait. If the two versions are different, you have a heterozygous genotype for that gene. The relationship between the two alleles affects which traits are expressed.
Detailed explanation-5: -(HOH-moh-ZY-gus JEE-noh-tipe) A term that describes having two identical versions of the same gene (one inherited from the mother and one inherited from the father). In a homozygous genotype, either both genes are normal or both genes have the same mutation (change).
