Yes, in a homozygous genotype, two alleles are the same.
One can determine whether a genotype is heterozygous or homozygous by looking at the alleles present. If there are two different alleles for a particular gene, the genotype is heterozygous. If there are two of the same alleles, the genotype is homozygous.
An organism has two alleles for one trait. If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that trait, and if they are different, the individual is heterozygous.
A genotype in which both alleles are the same is called homozygous. This means that the individual has two identical alleles for a particular gene (e.g., AA or aa). Homozygous genotypes can be either homozygous dominant (both alleles are dominant) or homozygous recessive (both alleles are recessive).
No, Rr represents heterozygous genotype as there are two different alleles (R and r) present. For a genotype to be homozygous, both alleles must be the same (RR or rr).
When two of the same alleles are needed to be seen in the offspring's genotype, those alleles are referred to as homozygous alleles. This means that both alleles at a specific genetic locus are identical, leading to the expression of a specific trait.

Homozygous.
An organism has two alleles for one trait. If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that trait, and if they are different, the individual is heterozygous.
A genotype in which both alleles are the same is called homozygous. This means that the individual has two identical alleles for a particular gene (e.g., AA or aa). Homozygous genotypes can be either homozygous dominant (both alleles are dominant) or homozygous recessive (both alleles are recessive).
No, Rr represents heterozygous genotype as there are two different alleles (R and r) present. For a genotype to be homozygous, both alleles must be the same (RR or rr).
When two of the same alleles are needed to be seen in the offspring's genotype, those alleles are referred to as homozygous alleles. This means that both alleles at a specific genetic locus are identical, leading to the expression of a specific trait.
Homozygous
A genotype consisting of two identical alleles of a gene for a particular trait is called homozygous. This means that both alleles are the same, which can either be dominant or recessive. Homozygous genotypes can result in the expression of a specific trait depending on the alleles involved.
A genotype with two dominant alleles, such as BB, is referred to as homozygous dominant. In this case, both alleles for a particular gene are the same and dominant, which typically results in the expression of the dominant trait. Individuals with a homozygous dominant genotype will exhibit the dominant phenotype associated with that gene.
The term used to describe when a genotype consists of either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles is "homozygous." When an organism has two identical alleles for a trait, it is homozygous dominant (for two dominant alleles) or homozygous recessive (for two recessive alleles). In contrast, if the alleles are different, the organism is referred to as "heterozygous."
homozygous = AA & AA Heterozygous = Aa
The genotype of a pea plant with two alleles YY is homozygous dominant. This means that both alleles for the trait in question are the same and dominant. In this case, the plant will express the dominant trait associated with the YY genotype.
