PATHOLOGY

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: -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-3: -Homozygous and heterozygous are terms that are used to describe allele pairs. Individuals carrying two identical alleles (RR or rr) are known as homozygous. While individual organisms bearing different alleles (Rr) are known as heterozygous.

Detailed explanation-4: -If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that allele. If the alleles are different, the individual is heterozygous.
