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.
genetics
Genes that are expressed equally when inherited are called "co-dominant" genes. In co-dominance, both alleles contribute to the phenotype, resulting in a distinct expression of both traits simultaneously. An example of this is seen in human blood types, where alleles A and B are co-dominant, leading to the AB blood type when both are present.
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.

Polygenic Inheritance
A trait that appears only when both alleles are present is called a recessive trait. In this case, the trait is masked when the dominant allele is present, but becomes visible when two copies of the recessive allele are inherited.
In humans, alleles for each gene are inherited from both parents, with each parent contributing one allele for each gene. This means that individuals have two alleles for each gene, one inherited from the mother and one from the father. The combination of these alleles determines the individual's traits and characteristics.
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.
The genes are homogyous dominate.
A cell with two identical alleles for a particular gene is called homozygous. This means that both copies of the gene, one inherited from each parent, are the same. For example, if the alleles are for a trait like flower color, a homozygous cell could have two alleles for purple flowers. In contrast, a cell with two different alleles for a gene is called heterozygous.
The tendency for the alleles on one chromosome to be inherited together is called genetic linkage. This phenomenon occurs during meiosis when genes are located close together on the same chromosome and tend to be inherited as a unit.
By sexual reproduction the parental alleles through gametes are inherited in the subsequent generation
