A living thing with a dominant and a recessive gene for a trait is heterozygous. This individual will display the dominant phenotype for that trait but may have offspring that display the recessive trait.
Crossing Yy x Yy yields YY, 2Yy, yy. Since Y is dominant over y, then YY and 2 Yy all result in the same phenotype. Therefore 3/4 of the offspring will resemble their parents.
That organism has two recessive alleles for that trait, one from each parent. It will display the recessive trait.
When two heterozygous organisms are mated, approximately 75% of these organisms should display the trait if it is dominant. 25% would display the recessive gene. If these numbers are very far off, chances are the gene you were testing was not a dominant trait.

More information is needed. The percent of offspring that will display the recessive trait from parents with Hh and HH will be different than the percent of offspring that will display the recessive trait from parents with hh and Hh.

To produce a pea plant that only displays the recessive phenotype both of the parents must also have the recessive phenotype. In a four square, if one parent displays the recessive phenotype while the other has the dominant phenotype, one of every four offspring should theoretically receive the recessive phenotype as well, but if you want all offspring to be recessive, both parents must also be recessive.

A recessive trait can be masked by a dominant trait in individuals who are heterozygous. Thus, a majority of people may appear to display the dominant trait even if they are carriers of the recessive trait. Only when two carriers of the recessive trait have children together is there a chance for the recessive trait to become visible in the offspring.
Well, a dominant allele carries dominant traits from parents to offspring. An example of a dominant trait is brown hair and brown eyes because these traits are most likely to show up on a human than a recessive allele. A recessive allele may carry a recessive trait from parents to offspring such as blonde hair and blue eyes, these are uncommon because they are recessive traits.
The recessive form of a gene, called a recessive allele, will not be expressed in the presence of the dominant form of the gene, called a dominant allele.
Do a testcross with a homozygous recessive plant.
That organism has two recessive alleles for that trait, one from each parent. It will display the recessive trait.
