DNA Testing Glossary

Homozygous
Homozygous refers to a gene pair site (locus) holding two identical or very similar genes governing a trait, one provided from each parent. For example, if a blue eye gene is provided from the mother and a blue eye gene is provided from the father, the locus determining the child’s eye color would be considered homozygous.
