👉 In biology, a homophlylic organism is an organism that has identical alleles for all three genes in its genome. This means that every cell in the organism contains one copy of each gene, and these copies are the same as each other. Homophlylic organisms have two copies of each gene, and they are able to pass their genetic material from one generation to another. In contrast, heterophylic organisms have three or more genes, and they can carry different alleles for each gene
