The difference between the two is that a homozygote is an organism that has two identical genes at the same place on two corresponding chromosomes and a heterozygote desribes a cell or orangism that has two or more different versions of alleles of at least one of its genes
A heterozygote means different-joineda homozygote means same-joinedso lets look at this cross. (parent genotype are Bold and italics)---B----bB | BB | Bb |--------------------B | BB | Bb |We see that 2 "joined" zygotes are BB and 2 are BbSO by definition 2 combinations produce a heterozygote "Bb"and 2 produce a homozygote "BB"
A heterozygote has the genotype of the dominant allele...therefore the recessive trait is the one that is masked.

The genotype that has two different alleles is heterozygous
A homozygote is a homozygous organism. An organism can be a heterozygote or a homozygote. "Hetero" means different and "Homo" means the same.

Homozygote: (genetics) an organism having two identical alleles of a particular gene and so breeding true for the particular characteristic. Heterozygote:(genetics) an organism having two different alleles of a particular gene and so giving rise to varying offspring.

A compound heterozygote has two different alleles in the same locus, either in only one strand (cis phase) or in the 2 ones (trans phase). In the first case, necessarily the strand ( or gamete ) must come from one parent; in the second, each parent transmit only each mutated allele. In both cases if the alleles are identical ( by nature or by descent ) the recipient is a homozygote, not a heterozygote .
If both alleles are the same, the organism is homozygous for the trait. ... If one allele is missing, it is hemizygous, and if both alleles are missing, ... An organism is heterozygous
Cells have a heterozygote.
A heterozygote has the genotype of the dominant allele...therefore the recessive trait is the one that is masked.
