  • Understanding Homozygous Organisms: Alleles and Genetics
    An organism with two alleles that are exactly the same is called homozygous.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Allele: A variation of a gene.

    * Homozygous: Having two identical alleles for a particular trait.

    * Heterozygous: Having two different alleles for a particular trait.

    For example, if an organism has two copies of the allele for blue eyes, it would be homozygous for eye color.
