Homozygous
an individual containing 2 copies of the same allele for a particular trait located at similar positions on paired chromosomes
Recessive traits is a very weak trait and it is a less common trait. It needs 2 copies to have the trait. ( on 3/5/13)
Dominant
Yes, that is correct. Each trait is controlled by genes, and genes exist in different forms called alleles. For any given trait, an individual can have two alleles—one inherited from their mother and one from their father. These alleles can have different variations, resulting in different expression of the trait.
Homozygous
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.

a pretty lucky guy!
The individual with two of the same allele is "homozygous" for a trait.
an individual containing 2 copies of the same allele for a particular trait located at similar positions on paired chromosomes
Genotype AA refers to an individual who has two copies of the A allele for a particular gene. In genetics, genotypes are the specific combination of alleles an organism carries for a particular trait. In this case, the individual would express the trait associated with the A allele.
recessive
The expression of a specific trait in an individual (such as hair color) is determined by two factors,one from each parent. These factors are represented with an uppercase letter for a dominantfactor and a lowercase letter for a recessive factor. The combination of these factors determineshow that trait will be expressed in an individual.
It is a genetic similarity between two organisms.
A dominate trait is a trait that appears even if an organism has only one factor for the trait.
