Allele
These are different forms of the same gene.

They are always found on the same loci (position) of two homologous (joined) chromosomes.
e.g. the height of individuals is often divided into two traits tall T and short t. Tall is one allele and short is another of the height trait.

Homozygous
This is seen in the genotype of the individual. It happens when two identical genes are found in the same loci of two homologous chromosomes.
e.g. for the height characteristic homozygous would be seen as TT or tt

Heterozygous
This is also seen in the genotype of the individual. It happens when two different genes are found in the same loci of two homologous chromosomes.
e.g. for the height characteristic homozygous would be seen as Tt
Heterozygous can also be called hybrid.
