The term used to refer to the actual combination of two sets of alleles for the same trait is homozygous.
There is no particular relationship between organisms that have identical alleles for a particular trait.
Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.
alleles
Different versions of a gene for the same trait are called alleles. Alleles can result in different observable traits depending on their specific sequence and how they interact with each other.
Alleles are pairs of genes that determine a specific trait in an organism. Each parent contributes one allele, and the combination of alleles determines how the trait is expressed. If the alleles are the same (homozygous), the trait will be expressed in a certain way. If the alleles are different (heterozygous), one allele may be dominant and determine the trait's expression, while the other may be recessive and not expressed.

Alleles
There is no particular relationship between organisms that have identical alleles for a particular trait.
Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.
When the alleles present for a trait are the same, the genes are called homozygous. This means that both alleles for a particular gene are identical. Homozygous individuals can have either two dominant alleles (homozygous dominant) or two recessive alleles (homozygous recessive).

alleles
Having two similar alleles for a trait is called being homozygous. It is possible to be homozygous for a dominant or recessive trait.
