Two identical alleles for a trait

Real World Example

Imagine you are trying to decide what to have for dinner, and you have two identical menus from the same restaurant in front of you. This situation is similar to the genetic concept of being homozygous, where an organism has two identical alleles for a specific trait. Just as the identical menus offer the same options for dinner, homozygous alleles provide the same genetic instructions for a trait, ensuring consistency in the expression of that trait.
