alleles
The two types of alleles for traits are dominant alleles and recessive alleles. Dominant alleles are expressed when at least one copy is present, while recessive alleles are only expressed when two copies are present.
Homozygons
nn
purebred
This are chromosomes that have exactly the same length that contain the same gene but those genes have different alleles.
Homozygous refers to an individual having two identical alleles for a particular gene, one inherited from each parent. This means that the individual will express the same trait associated with that gene since there is no variation in the alleles.
Alleles that are the same = homozygous Alleles that are different = heterozygous
Alleles
Homozygosity in genetics refers to having two identical alleles for a particular gene. This is significant because it can increase the likelihood of expressing a specific trait or disease. When both alleles are the same, it is called homozygous, and this can have a more pronounced effect on an individual's phenotype compared to having two different alleles (heterozygous).

Different versions of the same gene are called
alleles
No, alleles for a trait can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous) in an individual.
