How do you distinguish between genotype and phenotype heterozygous and homozygous and dominant and recessive?

Genotype is the organism's full heredity information that may or may not be expressed. Actual observed properties are the phenotype. The phenotype is dependent on the genotype.
Genes are homozygous when the same allele (form of the gene) inherited from both parents is the same. When different forms of the same gene are inherited from parents, they are heterozygous.
Dominance refers to the relation between alleles of a gene. When two alleles of a gene combine, the dominant one then determines the trait that is expressed. In order for a recessive trait to be expressed, both alleles need to be recessive.

What is the differences between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive and heterozygous?
A homozygous dominant genotype means that both alleles for a trait are dominant. A heterozygous genotype means that one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. A heterozygous genotype will express the dominant phenotype, not the recessive phenotype.
In crossing a homozygous recessive with a heterozygote what is the chance of getting a homozygous recessive phenotype in the F1 generation?
1/2 or 50%. The homozygous recessive gentoype contains two recessive alleles for the gene for a trait. So the homozygous recessive individual can pass on only recessive alleles to an offspring. The heterozygous individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for the gene for a trait. So the heterozygous individual can pass on either a dominant or a recessive allele to an offspring. So if an offspring inherits a recessive allele from the heterozygous parent, along with the recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent, it will have the homozygous recessive genotype and phenotype.
What is the phenotype of a flower in a pea plant that is homozygous recessive?
You would expect 1 homozygous dominant, 2 heterozygous dominant and 1 homozygous recessive offspring. This is because each parent has one dominant and one recessive allele. Therefore there is a 75% chance of a dominant phenotype and a 25% chance of a recessive phenotype.
What is the name for a cross between an individual of unknown genotype and a homozygous recessive?
A cross between a homozygous recessive and an individual of unknown genotype is called a test cross.The homozygous recessive can only pass on a recessive allele to the offspring, and so any recessive in the other parent will show up in the phenotype (detectable characteristics) of some of the offspring.
What phenotype is produced by AB genotype?
The genotype AA represents a homozygous dominant genotype. The capital letter "A" represents the dominant allele, while the lowercase letter "a" would represent the recessive allele. If both dominant alleles are present in a genotype (homozygous dominant) then the phenotype is "A" phenotype. If one dominant allele and one recessive allele are present (heterozygous dominant) then the phenotype is "A". Finally, if both recessive alleles "a" are present (homozygous recessive) then the phenotype is "a". Therefore, the answer to your question is the genotype AA would result in an "A" phenotype because the genotype is homozygous dominant.
What is the differences between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive and heterozygous?
A homozygous dominant genotype means that both alleles for a trait are dominant. A heterozygous genotype means that one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. A heterozygous genotype will express the dominant phenotype, not the recessive phenotype.

The heterozygous individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for the gene for a trait. So the heterozygous individual can pass on either a dominant or a recessive allele to an offspring. So if an offspring inherits a recessive allele from the heterozygous parent, along with the recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent, it will have the homozygous recessive genotype and phenotype.
What is the probabilty that the offspring of a homozygous domiant idiviual and a homozygous recessive indiviual will exbhit the domaint phenotype?
100% heterozygous dominant
What is crossing a homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive with a heterozygous?
There is a 50% chance of a homozygous dominant and a 50% chance of a heterozygous.
Is it true that people who are heterozygous recessive allele but who have a normal phenotype eill not pass the harmful recessive allele to their kids?
It depends on the genotype of the childs other parent. If your partner is heterozygous as well then there is a 25% chance your child will be homozygous recessive. If they are homozygous dominant then none of your children will have the phenotype of the recessive trait. They will just possibly be carriers of the recessive allele.
What is the phenotype of a flower in a pea plant that is homozygous recessive?
You would expect 1 homozygous dominant, 2 heterozygous dominant and 1 homozygous recessive offspring. This is because each parent has one dominant and one recessive allele. Therefore there is a 75% chance of a dominant phenotype and a 25% chance of a recessive phenotype.
Is it easier to analyze genotype by observing phenotype in organisms with complete dominance or in organisms with incomplete dominance?
It is easier to analyze genotype by observing phenotype in organisms with incomplete dominance (also known as codominance), because in incomplete dominance the individual will show a specific phenotype for each situation, whether it is homozygous dominant, heterozygous, or homozygous recessive. For example, in flowers, such as the ones that Mendel studied, a homozygous dominant flower will be red, a homozygous recessive flower will be white, and a heterozygous flower will be pink. In complete dominance, a heterozygous will only express the dominant phenotype, as opposed to incomplete dominance, in which a heterozygous individual will express a phenotype that is representative of both of the dominant and recessive traits. Because heterozygous individuals in complete dominance express the dominant phenotype, it is hard to determine whether the genotype is homozygous dominant or heterozygous for the trait. Hope this helps!
What are the names of the genotypes?
Homozygous dominant (Ex:AA) Heterozygous (Ex:Aa) Homozygous recessive (Ex:aa)
How do two heterozygous organisms produce on offspring with a recessive phenotype?
There are two forms of Homozygous inheritance: Homozygous Dominant, and Homozygous Recessive. In order for two parents that are Homozygous to produce a Heterozygous offspring, one of them MUST be Homozygous Dominant, and the other MUST be Homozygous Recessive.
What is the percentage of offspring that will exhibit the dominant trait from A crossing of A homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive individual?
The homozygous dominant individual can only pass on the dominant allele and the homozygous recessive individual can only pass on the recessive allele, therefore all offspring will be heterozygous and have the dominant phenotype.
What is the type of allele that only effect the phenotype in the homozygous chromosome?
Recessive. Dominant alleles are expressed in both homozygous and heterozygous individuals (DD or Dd), but recessive alleles are only expressed in homozygous individuals (dd).
What is the name for a cross between an individual of unknown genotype and a homozygous recessive?
A cross between a homozygous recessive and an individual of unknown genotype is called a test cross.The homozygous recessive can only pass on a recessive allele to the offspring, and so any recessive in the other parent will show up in the phenotype (detectable characteristics) of some of the offspring.
