You will need to place the genetic combination possibilities into at least two Punnett Squares where Y=dominant yellow and g=recessive green symbols are assigned . Observe the outcome of the crosses which should reflect a specific probablity of results shown as follows:
YY X gg yields 100% Yg heterozygous combinations with yellow appearance and could be dominant but further experimentation is needed to confirm.
Yg X gg yields 50% heterozygous offspring (yellow appearance) with 50% homozygous (green appearance). If other results are observed after these two genetic combinations then yellow is not dominant to green.
Lastly comparing the results between the two crosses will help you narrow the distinction between homozygous and heterozygous characteristics. Research: Punnett Squares further if you are not familiar with its dynamics. Good luck!

What is the differences between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive and heterozygous?
Homozygous dominant individuals have two copies of the dominant allele for a trait, homozygous recessive individuals have two copies of the recessive allele, and heterozygous individuals have one copy of each allele. Homozygous dominant and heterozygous individuals will express the dominant trait, while homozygous recessive individuals will express the recessive trait.
What is it when you have a gene pair that consist of two dominate alleles and two recessive alleles?
The name of the gene pair that consists of a dominant and recessive allele, i.e. (Xx) will be a heterozygous allele. In this situation, the characteristics of the dominant characteristic will mask that of the recessive allele. People have have a heterozygous genotype may be carriers for diseases that reside on the recessive allele.
What is similar because the heterozygous phenotype is different from the homozygous dominant phenotype?
Both heterozygous and homozygous dominant genotypes have the same dominant allele, resulting in a similar overall phenotype. The difference lies in the fact that heterozygous individuals have one dominant and one recessive allele, leading to a different genotype than homozygous dominant individuals who have two dominant alleles.
How is dominant trait and recessive trait related?
They are related to each other because whether they are dominant or recessive they are both homozygous, meaning the same. They can either be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive. If they are heterozygous then they are different because it contains one dominant and one recessive allele each. EX: AA=homozygous dominant allele aa=homozygous recessive allele Aa=heterozygous allele
What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous organism?
if for example we had a yellow and a blue flower yellow being dominant (Y) and blue being recessive (y) a homozygous organism has the phenotype of either being YY or yy and a heterozygous organism could only be Yy.
What is an allele that produce a trait in the heterozygous condition is?
homozygous
What is the differences between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive and heterozygous?
Homozygous dominant individuals have two copies of the dominant allele for a trait, homozygous recessive individuals have two copies of the recessive allele, and heterozygous individuals have one copy of each allele. Homozygous dominant and heterozygous individuals will express the dominant trait, while homozygous recessive individuals will express the recessive trait.
What is crossing a homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive with a heterozygous?
There is a 50% chance of a homozygous dominant and a 50% chance of a heterozygous.
What determines whether an organism is heterozygous or homozygous dominant?
The second allele. If a plant is heterozygous tall, it is Tt. In this case, the dominant trait is tall, T and recessive is short, t. There are two options for it to be dominant, heterozygous (Tt) or homozygous (TT)
What is the percentage of offspring that will exhibit the dominant trait from A crossing of A homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive individual?
The homozygous dominant individual can only pass on the dominant allele and the homozygous recessive individual can only pass on the recessive allele, therefore all offspring will be heterozygous and have the dominant phenotype.
What is it when you have a gene pair that consist of two dominate alleles and two recessive alleles?
The name of the gene pair that consists of a dominant and recessive allele, i.e. (Xx) will be a heterozygous allele. In this situation, the characteristics of the dominant characteristic will mask that of the recessive allele. People have have a heterozygous genotype may be carriers for diseases that reside on the recessive allele.
What is the ratios for a heterorozygous female and a homozygous dominant male?
The offspring will inherit one dominant allele from the homozygous dominant male and have a 50% chance of inheriting the dominant allele from the heterozygous female. Therefore, the ratio of offspring with the dominant allele to those without will be 1:1.
What is similar because the heterozygous phenotype is different from the homozygous dominant phenotype?
Both heterozygous and homozygous dominant genotypes have the same dominant allele, resulting in a similar overall phenotype. The difference lies in the fact that heterozygous individuals have one dominant and one recessive allele, leading to a different genotype than homozygous dominant individuals who have two dominant alleles.
What is a person who has one recessive allele for a trait and one dominant allele for the same trait and is able to pass in the trait on to their offspring?
That is heterozygous. Some scientist call these "hybrids"(no joke)The person is heterozygous for that trait and will have the dominant phenotype.An organism with both a dominant and recessive allele for a specific trait is called an heterozygote. They are heterozygous for this trait.
How is dominant trait and recessive trait related?
They are related to each other because whether they are dominant or recessive they are both homozygous, meaning the same. They can either be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive. If they are heterozygous then they are different because it contains one dominant and one recessive allele each. EX: AA=homozygous dominant allele aa=homozygous recessive allele Aa=heterozygous allele
What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous organism?
if for example we had a yellow and a blue flower yellow being dominant (Y) and blue being recessive (y) a homozygous organism has the phenotype of either being YY or yy and a heterozygous organism could only be Yy.
How does heterozygous and homozygous differ?
Homozygous refers to having two identical alleles for a particular gene, either dominant or recessive, while heterozygous refers to having two different alleles for a particular gene. For example, in a homozygous dominant individual, both alleles for a gene are dominant, whereas in a heterozygous individual, one allele is dominant and the other is recessive.
