Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each gamete contains a single copy of every chromosome, and each chromosome contains one allele for every gene.
Detailed explanation-3: -Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each genetic locus, with one allele inherited from each parent. Each pair of alleles represents the genotype of a specific gene.
