Homozygous is a term used to describe an organism that has two of the same alleles for a trait.
If a person's alleles for eye color are BB (dominant dominant) or bb (recessive recessive), they are homozygous.
An organism in which the genotype contains two copies of the same gene expressing the same character of a trait is called a HOMOZYGOUS individual.
An organism in which the genotype contains two different copies of a gene controlling the expression of two different characters of the same trait is called a HETEROZYGOUS individual.
Homozygous means that both alleles are the same and heterozygous means that the two alleles are different from one another.
Homozygous dominant (Ex:AA) Heterozygous (Ex:Aa) Homozygous recessive (Ex:aa)
Homozygous is the same(purbred) and heterozygous is different(hybrid)
heterozygous
it is a homozygous or heterozygous ( RR or rr)
They are the same
The probability is 50%. There are four probabilities: dominant homozygous, recessive homozygous, or heterozygous.
25%
There only certain crosses that will produce heterozygous offspring. These are heterozygous vs heterozygous, homozygous vs homozygous and heterozygous vs homozygous.

Are known as homozygous. Homozygous individuals can also be called 'purebred'. Organisms with two different alleles are known as heterozygous.
heterozygous
When an organism contains two identical copies of the gene at a specific locus, it is known as homozygous. On the other hand, if it contains two different alleles, it is called heterozygous.
If heterozygous individuals are not favored, then the frequency of heterozygous individuals will decrease as the frequency of homozygous individuals increase. This can be shown using the Hardy-Weinberg equation for allele frequencies in a population: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 where q2 & p2 are the frequencies of the two different homozygous individuals (eg. aa and AA) and 2pq is heterzygous (eg. Aa). As the equation shows, if 2pq decreases, the other two variables must increase to compensate.
homozygous- TT; heterozygous- Tt :)
Recessive. Dominant alleles are expressed in both homozygous and heterozygous individuals (DD or Dd), but recessive alleles are only expressed in homozygous individuals (dd).
