The trait TT is homozygous because TT is same and homo stands for same.
In general, lower case letters represent recessive charcteristics which would make tt homozygous recessive.

Homozygous means "same" so a homozygous recessive trait would be a same [with parents] trait that is not the stronger trait which is dominant. Dominant is stronger showing trait, recessive is weaker trait. If you are dealing with Punnett squares then tt is homozygous recessive and TT is homozygous dominant. Hope this helped...
Heterozygous.
You get one homozygous dominant (TT), one homozygous recessive (tt), and two heterozygous (Tt).
A homozygous trait is controlled by only one kind of allele, while a heterozygous trait is controlled by multiple allele types.
homozygous dominant means two alleles that are the same that are capital letters, heterozygous recessive means that to alleles are different BUT the same letters in lower case. (alleles for gender) EX: TT, Tt is homozygous dominant tt, tt is heterozgous recessive
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- TT; heterozygous- Tt :)

Heterozygous.
You get one homozygous dominant (TT), one homozygous recessive (tt), and two heterozygous (Tt).
If you are heterozygous this means you carry both a dominant and recessive allele. if you are heterozygous for a recessive trait then you will have a dominant and recessive allele. example: let T represent tall and t represent short. a person with heterozygous for a recessive trait will have 'Tt'.
When two alleles differ from each other, such as Tt, it is called heterozygous, hetero meaning different. When alleles are the same (TT) it is called homozygous, homo meaning same.
it means there is one of each. in a homozygous gene it means that there are two of the same. for example if "t" repressents a recessive trait and "T" represents a dominant trait, then an organism with a gene that is tT would be considered heterozygous, and a gene that is TT or tt would be considered homozygous or "pure bred"
homozygous
it is a homozygous or heterozygous ( RR or rr)
When you have two identical alleles you are said to be homozygous for that particular trait. If the trait is dominant, then you are homozygous dominant. If the trait is recessive, then you are homozygous recessive.
A homozygous trait is controlled by only one kind of allele, while a heterozygous trait is controlled by multiple allele types.
