When the alleles present for a trait are the same, it is called Homozygous
A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
Yes, that is correct. Each trait is controlled by genes, and genes exist in different forms called alleles. For any given trait, an individual can have two alleles—one inherited from their mother and one from their father. These alleles can have different variations, resulting in different expression of the trait.
Alleles
It would depend on if the dominant genes are the same or different. Say the dominant alleles were different. In this case, they are co-dominant. If they are the same and both dominant homosytus.
alleles
Alleles are forms of genes for a trait.
An organism with two like alleles for a trait is homozygous for that trait.
Alternate forms of a gene are called alleles.
An organism that has genes that are alike for a particular trait is called homozygous for that trait. This means that it has two identical alleles for that specific gene.
A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
A trait that appears only when both alleles are present is called a recessive trait. In this case, the trait is masked when the dominant allele is present, but becomes visible when two copies of the recessive allele are inherited.

alleles
this makes no scientific sense. A gene (which determines a phenotypic trait) can only contain 2 alleles. However codominace allows for multiple alleles to be chosen from, but only 2 picked for a gene. Also, if multiple genes determine a phenotypic trait that's polygenic inheritance.
