Having two alleles on homologous chromosomes that are identical for a given gene.

a person who has inherited two copies of the same changed gene (mutation)
Having two identical alleles for a given trait.

An individual who has two identical alleles at a locus. A person who is homozygous for a recessive disease gene (e.g. cystic fibrosis) will be affected by that disease.
(adj: homozygous) (Gr. homos, one and the same + zygon, yoke) An individual that has two copies of the same allele at a particular locus in its two homologous chromosomes. See allele; genotype; heterozygote.

adj. homozygous) An individual carrying two identical alleles of a gene (AA or aa).
Person having two identical alleles at a particular locus on homologous chromosomes.
An individual who has two identical copies of a particular gene
A diploid individual with identical alleles at one or more loci.

Refers to an individual in whom the two alleles or gene copies contain identical information. An individual can be homozygous for the correct copies of the gene or can be homozygous for the mutated copies of the gene.
