How are homozygous and heterozygous allele combinations for a particular trait in plants different?

A homozygous trait is expressed when 2 of the same alleles make up the genotype. For example, if two alleles (A and a) were present, the homozygous trait would be either AA or aa. In general, a fully recessive trait is only expressed when it's homozygous.

1 What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous?
Homozygous is the same(purbred) and heterozygous is different(hybrid)
What are the three different combinations of alleles?
If the gene for a trait has two alleles, one dominant (D) and one recessive (d) there are three possible combinations in the genotype: DD (homozygous dominant) Dd (heterozygous) dd (homozygous recessive)
Is the genotype Cc homozygous or heterozygous?
Homozygous = identical allelesHeterozygous = different allelesEven though the genotype has two of the same letter, the difference in capitalization signifies they are different.Thus, Cc is heterozygous
What does heterozgous mean?
Heterozygous is to different alleles and homozygous is having the same alleles.
Genotype made of two different alleles?
Homozygous

Is AA an homozygous or an heterozygous?
AA could be either homozygous or heterozygous, depending on whether the individual inherited the same allele (A) from both parents (homozygous) or different alleles (Aa) from each parent (heterozygous).
What are the different forms of a gene either dominant or recessive?
heterozygous, homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive
What term defines alleles that are different?
Heterozygous
Can you give me a sentence using the word heterozygous?
Heterozygous means inheriting different genes from your parents. That is a heterozygous trait, not a homozygous one.
Are homozygous true breeding for a particular trait?
yes. no matter whether they are homozygous dominant or recessive.
Is the genotype Cc homozygous or heterozygous?
Homozygous = identical allelesHeterozygous = different allelesEven though the genotype has two of the same letter, the difference in capitalization signifies they are different.Thus, Cc is heterozygous
Organism possessing two identical genes for a trait is said to be?
An organism that has two different alleles of the same gene is a heterozygous organism. Due to the various effects of different alleles, an organism's traits do not reveal its genetic composition.
What is an organism with 2 alleles for 1 trait that are different?
The answer to your question, "What is an organism with 2 of the same alleles for a trait called?" is homozygous. it is just homozygous-By SciienceFreak
What term describes a pair of alleles that are the same?
Alleles that are the same = homozygous Alleles that are different = heterozygous
A heterozygous genotype is when the alleles present are such as Bb?
different, not alike, homozygous is alike
