Answer:

A person who receives the same version of a gene from each parent is said to be homozygous for that gene.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on gene pairs two terms are used to describe the gene variation. Homozygous gene are those who have identical alleles and result in same phenotype. While heterozygous genes have different alleles for the same gene and results in a mixed phenotype that depends on dominant trait. In the given example if a person receives same genes from parents he will be called homozygous for that gene.
