Understand the definition of genotype: it refers to the genetic makeup of an organism at a specific locus, which can include one or more alleles.
Recall that alleles are different versions of a gene that can exist at the same locus on homologous chromosomes.
Identify the term 'homozygous' as describing a genotype where both alleles at a locus are the same (e.g., AA or aa).
Recognize that 'heterozygous' describes a genotype where the two alleles at a locus are different (e.g., Aa).
Note that 'nullizygous' and 'hemizygous' refer to other specific genetic conditions and do not describe having two different alleles at a locus.
