The term used to refer to the actual combination of two sets of alleles for the same trait is homozygous.
Homozygous means that both alleles for a gene are the same, designated by two identical letters, such as RR (dominant) or rr (recessive). Heterozygous means that both alleles for a gene are different, designated by two different alleles, such as Rr.
Alleles that are the same = homozygous Alleles that are different = heterozygous
Alleles are carried on genes so a combination of alleles results in a new offspring (baby).
Alleles are different versions of the same gene

It depends on the organism but humans have two alleles.
Human blood type is determined by codominant alleles.
Alleles
Alleles are different versions of the same gene
The ABO blood groups in humans are controlled by multiple alleles.
Sexual reproduction creates a new combination of alleles.
Hey
The different molecular versions of the same gene are called alleles.
