A genotype is the actual combination of two alleles for the same trait.
Alleles that are the same = homozygous Alleles that are different = heterozygous
Homozygous refers to having two identical alleles of a particular gene, while heterozygous refers to having two different alleles of a particular gene. In homozygous individuals, both alleles are the same (e.g., AA or aa), while in heterozygous individuals, the alleles are different (e.g., Aa).
Different versions of the same gene are called
The physical result of a combination of alleles is known as the phenotype, which refers to the physical characteristics or traits of an organism. Different combinations of alleles can lead to variations in the phenotype, such as eye color, height, or hair texture.

The possible alleles for eye color in humans are typically variations of the genes that control the production of melanin, such as the OCA2 and HERC2 genes. Common alleles include those for brown, blue, green, and hazel eyes. The combination of these alleles contributes to the wide range of eye colors observed in the human population.

Alleles
It depends on the organism but humans have two alleles.
It's the other way around: natural selection is the natural process that causes the frequencies of occurence of alleles in the population gene pool to shift.
Human blood type is determined by codominant alleles.
No, alleles do not fuse during self-pollination. Self-pollination involves the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of the same flower or between flowers of the same plant. The fusion of alleles occurs during sexual reproduction when gametes from two different individuals combine to form a zygote with a unique combination of alleles.
Sexual reproduction creates a new combination of alleles.
The ABO blood groups in humans are controlled by multiple alleles.
In genetics, gene with two dominant alleles that are expressed at the same time is known as codominance. This results in a phenotype where both alleles are equally and fully expressed in the offspring. An example of codominance is the AB blood type in humans, where the A and B alleles are both expressed on the surfaces of red blood cells.
