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 alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.
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.
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.
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.
By sexual reproduction the parental alleles through gametes are inherited in the subsequent generation
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.

Organisms inherit their alleles from their parents. In sexual reproduction, the alleles are usually inherited from two parents. In asexual reproduction, the alleles are inherited from a single cell and are genetically identical to the parent.
