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.

two or more genes
recessive
Two or more genes control a trait.
A dominant trait is expressed when two different genes for the same trait are present.
Mendel's Law Of Segregation
An organism with two like alleles for a trait is homozygous for that trait.
