Two or more homologous genes found within a particular species are called a. homozygous. b. orthologs. c. paralogs. d. alleles. e. duplicates.
The most closely related genes, either within a single organism or between two different organisms, are called homologs, orthologs, paralogs, heterologs, or alleles.
