What does hetrozygous and homozygous mean
natali 33 [55]
In genetics when an organism is heterozygous that means that it contains 2 different alleles for a specific gene, heterozygous refers to the genotype 
Homozygous means the organism carries 2 of the same alleles.

For example there are two alleles for the gene of eye color 
B- is the dominant allele for brown eyes 
b- is the recessive allele for blue

So if a person's genotype is like Bb then he is heterozygous
but if he is like BB or bb then he is homozygous

Explanation:

The shadow that Aristotle saw was caused by a lunar eclipse. At that time the sun, earth, and the moon nearly straight alignment caused the Earth's shadow to be reflected on the moon. This shadow is what ultimately led Aristotle to believe that the Earth was a sphere. This should not be confused with a solar eclipse which is similar but instead the sun, moon, and earth align in that order which causes the moon to completely block the sun to anyone on earth.
