An allele can have two or more variants of a gene that have the same position on the homologous chromosome. The alleles are responsible for alternative characteristics. Two copies of the same allele are called homozygous.
The term for alleles that are alike is homozygous.
Heterozygous
Alleles that are different are called heterozygous. Conversely, alleles that are the same are called homozygous. The root "hetero" means different, and the root "homo" means same. This should help you remember how to define specific alleles.
homozygous
different, not alike, homozygous is alike

someone needs to answer this please!
Survey says!...homozygous!
A trait produced from two alleles that are alike is called homozygous. Homozygous alleles are identical forms of a gene and can be either dominant or recessive. Homozygous dominant means having two dominant alleles, while homozygous recessive means having two recessive alleles for a particular trait.
The term for the specific combination of alleles an organism has is called its genotype.

define the term "electromegnetism".
