Heterozygous is when you are a hybrid, and you have one recessive and one dominant allele. Like Aa for example. people who are homozygous are either homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive. Homozygous recessive is when you have two recessive alleles, like aa. Homozygous dominant you could either have Aa or AA. A capital letter represents the dominant allele, and a lower case letter represents the recessive allele. If one of your parents had brown eyes, and one had green, and the brown is dominant and the green is recessive, and you were heterozygous, you would have brown eyes. E (lets just say stands for eyes) would be dominant and e would be recessive. if you were heterozygous, you would have Ee. You'd have brown eyes because the dominant allele masks the recessive allele. and yes im only 13 years old im sorry if its too confusing i probably didnt word it right:)

What crosses will only produce heterozygous offspring?

A cross between two individuals that are homozygous for different alleles will only produce heterozygous offspring. This is because each parent can only donate one type of allele, resulting in all offspring being heterozygous for that particular gene.
