John Hardy Lockhart

If the mutations are the same in both alleles, that organism would be homozygous. However, calling a gene with different mutations in each allele a homozygous mutant is imprecise. It would be better to indicate the individual mutations for each allele.

Sven Reister

John Hardy Lockhart is completely correct. If two different mutations would be present in the same gene it would be a compund heterozygotic mutation
