Question

what is it called when both alleles in a genotype are the same?
homozvgous
heterozygous
dominance
recessiveness

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In genetics, when both alleles in a genotype are the same, it is defined as homozygous. For example, in a gene for eye - color (represented as 'AA' or 'aa'), the identical alleles make it homozygous. Heterozygous means two different alleles (e.g., 'Aa'). Dominance refers to one allele masking the effect of another. Recessiveness is when an allele is masked by a dominant one.

Answer:

Homozygous
