Information About

Homozygous




A homozygous dominant genotype occurs when a particular locus has two copies of the Dominant allele (e.g., ''AA''). A '''homozygous recessive''' genotype occurs when a particular locus has two copies of the Recessive allele (e.g., ''aa''). This can occur when both parents carry at least one copy of the allele.

Put simply: Homozygous is just having two of the same alleles.
