Answer:
Humans have two sets of chromosomes. Homozygous and heterozygous are terms that are used to describe allele pairs. ... Homozygous will have the same colour alleles on homologous pairs, i.e. 'RR' or 'rr' and the heterozygous will have different alleles on homologous pair of chromosomes, i.e., Rr.

A heterozygous individual is a diploid organism with two alleles, each of a different type. Individuals with alleles of the same type are known as homozygous individuals. An allele is a variation of a gene that affects the functionality of the protein produced by the gene.
If the alleles are identical, you're homozygous for that specific gene. ... For instance, it could mean you have two alleles for the gene that causes brown eyes. Some alleles are dominant, while others are recessive. The dominant allele is expressed more strongly, so it masks the recessive allele.
