homosügootsus
Homosügootsus refers to a genetic state where an individual possesses two identical alleles for a particular gene. Alleles are different versions of the same gene, and they are inherited from each parent. When an organism is homozygous for a gene, it means that both of its parents contributed the same allele for that gene. This can be represented by two identical letters, such as 'AA' for a dominant allele or 'aa' for a recessive allele.
The concept of homosügootsus is fundamental in Mendelian genetics and understanding inheritance patterns. For traits controlled
Homosügootsus can arise through various mechanisms, including the inheritance of identical alleles from both parents or
