When two paired chromosomes harbor the same or identical alleles for a given characteristic at nearby loci, this condition is referred to as homologous (i.e. homologous chromosomes)a diploid organism or cell that has the same allele for both a maternal and paternal gene.

The term "homozygous" refers to the presence of the same or identical alleles for a given trait at related loci on paired chromosomes (i.e. homologous chromosomes). An entity with two sets of chromosomes is said to be diploid. Both sets are inherited; one set is from the mother and the other from the father. Based on their locations, each maternal chromosome can be matched with a corresponding paternal chromosome. Homozygous occurs when the same alleles are present at the loci in the corresponding chromosomes. It indicates that the same trait is coded for by both alleles.

A "homozygous" organism is one that carries two copies of either a pair of dominant alleles (such as AA) or a pair of recessive alleles for a given trait. genuinely reproducing organisms
