A cell with two identical alleles for a particular gene is called homozygous. This means that both copies of the gene, one inherited from each parent, are the same. For example, if the alleles are for a trait like flower color, a homozygous cell could have two alleles for purple flowers. In contrast, a cell with two different alleles for a gene is called heterozygous.
2 different alelles - heterozygous Same alelles - homozygous
Heterozygous Remember the prefix "Hetero" most-of-the-time means "Different"
A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
Offspring that posses two different forms of the same gene. These are called alleles.

The answer to your question, "What is an organism with 2 of the same alleles for a trait called?" is homozygous. it is just homozygous-By SciienceFreak
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.
heterogenous
Offspring that posses two different forms of the same gene. These are called alleles.
homozygous means you have two alleles with the same characteristic. example; two alleles for brown eyes recessive means that when you have two different alleles, one of then doesn't show its trait example; one allele for brown eyes and one allele for green eyes gives brown eyes, because green eyes are recessive people who have green eyes have homozygous recessive alleles for green eyes (two alleles for green eyes)

1.genes exist in diffrent forms or versions called alleles 2.there are two alleles for each trate 3.alleles can be expresed or hidden 4.alleles do not mix
they are found on different chromosomes. *
