Discounting any weird biological exceptions that may be there that I don't know about.....basically, EVERY gene is a pair...like a pair of shoes. You don't ever have one shoe...you have a pair of shoes. If the two shoes of that pair match, they are homozygous. If one is "red" and the other is "normal" then the pair could be called "het for red."

Now picture those shoes on two millipedes twined around each other. LOTS of pairs of shoes!! And each pair does something different. One pair might have the albino genes....another pair the axanthic genes....another pair the pied genes.....etc.

Does that help any?
