Homozygous organisms are called hybrids.

|
|
Allele pairs are called a genotype.

Detailed explanation-1: -Mendel’s law of segregation states that: “During the formation of gamete, each gene separates from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.”
Detailed explanation-2: -Gregor Mendel‘s law of segregation states that the two alleles separate or separate for each trait during gamete formation, and that alleles randomly combine with other alleles during the formation of new zygotes.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to the law of segregation, only one of the two gene copies present in an organism is distributed to each gamete (egg or sperm cell) that it makes, and the allocation of the gene copies is random.
Detailed explanation-4: -The law of segregation describes how homologous chromosomes (and hence allele pairs) are separated in meiosis I.
