Detailed explanation-1: -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: -Genotypes are described as homozygous if there are two identical alleles at a particular locus and as heterozygous if the two alleles differ. Alleles contribute to the organism’s phenotype, which is the outward appearance of the organism. Some alleles are dominant or recessive.

Detailed explanation-3: -The presence of two different alleles at a particular gene locus. A heterozygous genotype may include one normal allele and one mutated allele or two different mutated alleles (compound heterozygote).

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -If you are homozygous for a particular gene, it means you inherited the same version of that gene from both your mother and father. If you are heterozygous for a particular gene, it means you inherited two different versions of the gene, one from your mother and one from your father.
