Generally, if the parents are heterozygous and one allele is dominant over the other
there are only 2 phenotypes and 3 genotypes. Parents Aa can produce AA, Aa and aa
offspring.
If the heterozygous individuals have an intermediate phenotype, then three genotypes and 3 phenotypes are possible.
If 2 traits are being studied using heterozygous parents AaBb then the possible
Genotypes are AABB, AABb, AAbb, AaBB, AaBb, Aabb, aaBb, aaBB, aabb which is nine genotypes. But there are 4 phenotypes.
AABB AABb AaBB AaBb are phenotypically the same.
aaBb, aaBB are phenotypically the same.
Aabb, AAbb are phenotypically the same.

do a testcross. if they are pure, offsprings will be all red. if they are hybrids, half of the offsprings will be yellow.
Codominance is contrary to typical mendelian genetics, in that no one allele is dominant to the other, so they are both expressed equally. The important part is that the offspring with express each allele independently, such as having spots of one color, then spots of another color, instead of blending the two colors, which would be incomplete dominance. So codominance changes the offsprings phenotype by making the offspring express both alleles equally, yet each allele's expression is separate/distinguishable, not blended.
Red color being governed by a dominant gene, all offsprings from this cross will have red flowers.
Heterozygoes dominant or Homozygoes dominant.
White-flowered, red-flowered, and pink-flowered.
All of the offspring will be red, since each of the four offspring receive the dominant red allele (R). Therefore, the offspring will all have the genotype Rr and a phenotype of red.
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.

do a testcross. if they are pure, offsprings will be all red. if they are hybrids, half of the offsprings will be yellow.
The parents can pass on only the alleles of their genotypes to their offspring. Therefore, the offspring genotypes and phenotypes are dependent solely upon the alleles inherited from the parents.
Although the question should be stated more clearly, I will guess that you are asking about phenotype, or the physical appearance of an individual possessing a certain genotype.

An allele can effect the phenotype of an organism by its dominance or recessiveness. If two dominant alleles are crossed the offsprings will carry the dominant trait of the alleles. If a dominant allele is crossed with recessive allele the phenotype of the offsprings will be of that of the dominant allele. And if two recessive alleles are crossed the phenotype of their offsprings will carry the reccesive trait.
Red color being governed by a dominant gene, all offsprings from this cross will have red flowers.
When genes are expressed, the result is called phenotype. What is actually in all the genes (some are recessive) is called the genotype.
