A cell is said to be homozygous for a particular gene when identical alleles of the gene are present on both homologous chromosomes. The cell or organism in question is called a homozygote.
An individual that is homozygous-dominant for a particular trait carries two copies of the allele that codes for the dominant trait. An individual that is homozygous-recessive for a particular trait carries two copies of the allele that codes for the recessive trait.
