An absolute reference.
A relative reference.
The answer will display in the cell itself.
If you just type G15 into a cell, it is not a formula but just a piece of text. If you put an equals before it, then it will display what is in the cell G15 when you type it into any other cell. =G15 If you type it into G15 itself you will get an error known as a circular reference, because a cell cannot mention itself in a formula.
An absolute cell reference will not change when it is copied.
Normally it would be a relative address, but depending on what you want to do with the formula, you could have it as an absolute or mixed cell reference. If the cell reference is the same as the cell that the formula is in, you will have a circular reference.
Cell references are relative references initially, but you can directly type them in as mixed or absolute, so unless you are clicking on a cell or moving to a cell as you type the formula, it is not completely true to say that there is a default reference. There are also a lot of functions that do not use cell references at all.
first
relative cell reference
If you enter the cell address as a relative cell, then yes. You can make a cell reference mixed or absolute, which will change how it behaves when the formula is copied. $A$1 is an Absolute reference. It won't change when the formula is copied. $A1 and A$1 are both Mixed references. When the formula is copied, the part of the cell reference immediately after the $ will not change. The A will never change in $A1 but the 1 can change. The A can change in A$1 but the 1 can't. A1 is a Relative reference. When the formula is copied both the row and column reference can change. When you are typing in a formula, at the point you get to the cell reference, press the F4 key and it will change the style of the cell reference. If you keep pressing it, it will cycle through the different forms of referencing for that cell.
