Then you will have two copies of the same gene, a condition known as having identical alleles. If the particular gene is recessive (such as for blue eyes) this is the only way it will be able to express itself.
Alleles are variation in genes that are inherited by a child from both parents. It can be recessive and it will not be expressed or it will be dominate and will be expressed or seen. If one parent has brown eyes and the other blue, the brown will be expressed (the child will have brown eyes) and he will also carry the blue which is recessive but not seen.
Dihybrid Cross is a genetic cross between individuals with different alleles for two gene loci of interest.
A genotype is formed from two inherited alleles.
An organism with two of the same alleles, one from each parent, is said to be homozygous for that gene.
A recessive gene
alleles
behavior that is inherited
Inactive alleles (usually called recessive) are not fully expressed in the phenotype of the organism.
The answer to your question, "What is an organism with 2 of the same alleles for a trait called?" is homozygous. it is just homozygous-By SciienceFreak
The physical trait exhibited by an organism's genes is called the phenotype. (As opposed to the genotype, which refers to the alleles themselves.)

Cat
Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.
The genes an organism contains is called the organism's genotype.
alleles
No, recessive alleles are equally likely to be inherited (if your dealing with only those two types of alleles). BUT, dominant alleles are the ones that show up. That is precisely why they are called dominant. Compared to recessive alleles, dominant ones will overrule the others, making it the one inherited.
the organism that have two identical alleles would be called homozygous for that particular gene.
