Yes, his initial cross was between two "purebreds" or homozygous plants for generation after generation
Homozygous plants were easier to work with
Most true albino plants are saphrophytes and breed true recessively.
Heterozygous alleles are used to describe the 'parents' when creating a test cross chart. When completing a test cross there is more than comparing alleles, you are really comparing genetics. Heterozygous YY or yy versus Homozygous Yy, is just the first to consider.
Heterozygous
Homozygous dominant would be all Capital letters. Homozygous recessive would be all lower case letters. So...in basic color genetics for horses: A homozygous recessive horse would be aaee A homozygous dominant horse would be AAEE
heterzygous with brown leaves

homozygous- TT; heterozygous- Tt :)
Homozygous recessive plant
Homozygous dominant Homozygous recessive and Heterozygous

120 on average or 50%. 25% would be homozygous dominant and 25% would be homozygous recessive. The remaining 50% would be heterozygous.
Heterozygous
The second allele. If a plant is heterozygous tall, it is Tt. In this case, the dominant trait is tall, T and recessive is short, t. There are two options for it to be dominant, heterozygous (Tt) or homozygous (TT)
Homozygous dominant would be all Capital letters. Homozygous recessive would be all lower case letters. So...in basic color genetics for horses: A homozygous recessive horse would be aaee A homozygous dominant horse would be AAEE
heterzygous with brown leaves
Crossing between two parents is done to combine noble characters of parents into the next generation. Suppose a dwarf pea plant has better quality of pods and its tall counterpart has more number of pods per plant then a plant breeder may think of combining these two characters into its hybrid. The genotype for these tall & dwarf parents with variable pod quality and quantity may be designated as - Tall parent --- ppTT & dwarf parent -- PPtt
