Yes, homozygous with homozygous (both the same genotype) will produce homozygous of the same genotype


When two alleles of an inherited pair are different the dominant allele determines the organisms appearance?

True


Which is not true of an organism's genotype?

If an organism is a true-breed, the organism's genotype would be homozygous. "Homo" is the same and the alleles in a true-breed are identical.


Can 2 organisms have different genotypes but the same phenotype?

No. It is possible for the reverse to be true, two organisms can have the same phenotype but a different genotype. This is because the phenotype is what you will see on the outside whereas the genotype is the combination of alleles and since this determines the phenotype, two organisms with the same genotype will have the same phenotype. So, basically, no. Actually 2 organisms can certainly have different phenotypes with the same genotype--this refers to the concept of penetrance. Some people can have the gene for a condition but never show symptoms. An excellent example of this is the disease neurofibromatosis. This disease has very variable penetrance in which a child of an affected parent may show no signs of the disease, but then have a child with a severe form.
