  • Understanding Homozygous Organisms: Alleles and Genetic Traits
    An organism whose alleles for traits are identical is called homozygous.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Alleles: Different versions of a gene. For example, a gene for eye color might have an allele for brown eyes and an allele for blue eyes.

    * Homozygous: Having two identical alleles for a particular trait. For instance, someone with two alleles for brown eyes would be homozygous for brown eyes.
