I would reccomend you to:

  • Check it up in a thesaurus (or an online one too)
  • Check the glossary of science (preferably Biology) textbooks
  • Ask a teacher ( I know it sounds stupid but you will easily get your answer that way).

If the choices listed above don't seem to work, then I can at least give you the meaning of homozygous:

homozygous- the same pair of genes

(with the meaning, possibly work out the individual synonyms for: same, pair and genes + then put them together).
