  • Homozygous Alleles: Understanding Genetic Inheritance
    The term for when an organism has two identical alleles for a trait is homozygous.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Allele: A variant form 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 individual has two alleles for eye color, both of which are brown, they are homozygous for brown eyes.
