* Homozygous: This term describes an organism with two identical alleles (versions) for a specific gene.
* Homozygous dominant: Two dominant alleles (e.g., AA)
* Homozygous recessive: Two recessive alleles (e.g., aa)
* Heterozygous: This term describes an organism with two different alleles for a specific gene (e.g., Aa).
It's important to note: The terms "dominant" and "recessive" describe how alleles interact, not the number of alleles.
