The term used to refer to an organism that has two indentical alleles for the particular trait is homozygous. A trait could be homozygous dominant (TT), homozygous recessive (tt), or homozygous for incomplete dominance (rr).

What is the difference between a herezygous and a homozygous?
"Heterozygous" and "homozygous" are terms that refer to alleles, which, in genetics determine what trait, from which parent, will appear in the offspring. Alleles can be either Dominant or Recessive. Every organism has two alleles, which can both be dominant, both recessive, or one of each.So,If an organism heterozygous, it has one recessive and one dominant allele.If an organism is homozygous then both of its alleles are the same; you need to specify if they are homozygous recessive (both alleles are recessive) or homozygous dominant (both alleles are dominant).
The term is used to refer to an individual living thing?
An organism.
What is the difference between a factor and an allele?
A locus is a particular location or a marker on a chromosome. It can be a gene but really only needs to be an identifiable location on the chromosome. Alleles differ in that they refer to a particular sequence of DNA at a given locus. The distinction from loci is that multiple alleles can exist for the same locus. http://www.informatics.jax.org/silverbook/glossary.shtml
What geneticists refer to the physical characteristics of an organism they are talking about its?
Phenotype.
What does it mean when organism is uncellular?
If you mean to say unicelluar, then it refer to the organism which have only single, self contained cell as its body.

Are homozygous true breeding for a particular trait?
yes. no matter whether they are homozygous dominant or recessive.
What does tt mean in genenitics?
In the study of genetics, we often refer to things call Alleles. These things can help us work out the chance of a particular person having a particular characteristic.In genetics we call lower case letters recessive alleles, for example 't'However, alleles always come in pairs, one from the mother, one from the father so it would be tt.I don't want to over complicate things but there are also dominant alleles which are shown as upper case letters, so 'T'.tt is basically the recessive genotype of a particular characteristic.We call the two alleles together a genotype.Hope this helps!

What is typus?
"Typus" can refer to a German term for "type" or "standard." In medical contexts, "typus" may refer to a specific symptom pattern that characterizes a particular disease. It can also refer to a general term in biology to describe a specific form or variation of an organism.
What is the actual combination of two alleles for the same trait called?
