An individual having a homozygous gene pair.
An organism in which the corresponding genes (alleles) on the two genomes are identical. An organism which possesses an identical pair of alleles in regard to a given (genetic) characteristic.
An organism whose chromosomes carry identical members of any given pair of genes. The gametes are, therefore, all alike with respect to this locus and the individual will breed true.
An individual who has two identical genes coding for a given characteristic.
In genetic inheritance, a person carrying identical forms of a particular gene in a chromosome pair.
An individual who has two identical copies of the same gene, which may lead to a particular trait or disease.
A homozygous individual; an individual developing from gametes with similar alleles and thus possessing like pairs of genes for a given hereditary characteristic.
A person possessing a matching mutation in both genes of a gene pair.
The term used to describe a person with cells containing two identical alleles, which control a specific inherited trait, is called a “homozygote.” On the other hand, a “heterozygote” refers to an individual whose cells contain two different alleles governing the same trait.
