A genotype consisting of two different alleles is a heterozygote.
A heterozygous genotype has two different alleles for a given gene, one inherited from each parent. For example, in the genotype Aa, the individual has one dominant allele (A) and one recessive allele (a) for that gene.
The genotype of a plant producing green peas would be "yy," indicating that it carries two recessive alleles for yellow peas. The dominant allele for yellow peas is represented by "Y."
When two of the same alleles are needed to be seen in the offspring's genotype, those alleles are referred to as homozygous alleles. This means that both alleles at a specific genetic locus are identical, leading to the expression of a specific trait.

A recessive phenotype is expressed in an offspring that has a homozygous recessive genotype for that trait.
Homozygenous recessive.
No, I think you have your terms confused.The terms "dominant" and "recessive" are applied to alleles of a genotype. A genotype is an expression (using upper- and lower-case letters) that shows what alleles an organism has for a particular locus. The two alleles (in most cases) inherited (one from mother and one from father) can either be dominant or recessive. The recessive allele is not fully expressed in the presence of the dominant allele and is only expressed when there are two recessive alleles. The genotype could be called "recessive" I suppose if the genotype is homozygous recessive. But remember that two recessive alleles as a genotype is only one possibility - in which case you can't say the "genotype is recessive".The phenotype is dependent on the genotype. If present, the dominant alleles (in simple Mendelian genetics) will determine the phenotype - what the organism's trait or characteristic is. The phenotype will never be what is coded by the recessive allele unless the genotype is two recessive alleles.
In a heterozygous genotype, an individual possesses two different alleles for a particular gene, with one being dominant and the other recessive. The dominant allele is expressed in the phenotype, while the recessive allele is not unless two recessive alleles are present.
Alleles are different versions of a gene that can code for different traits. The two forms of alleles are dominant and recessive. Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles when present together in an individual's genotype.
A homozygous genotype refers to having two identical alleles for a particular gene. It can be either homozygous dominant (two dominant alleles, such as AA) or homozygous recessive (two recessive alleles, such as aa).

Homozygosity refers to having two identical alleles for a particular gene (e.g., both alleles are dominant or both are recessive), while heterozygosity refers to having two different alleles for the same gene (one dominant and one recessive allele). In homozygosity, an individual's genotype is either homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive, whereas in heterozygosity, the genotype is a combination of both dominant and recessive alleles.
Yes,if one has two dominant alleles and other has a dominant and a recessive allele

A homozygous recessive genotype can be identified when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele for a particular gene. This means that both alleles for that gene are the same and are both the recessive form. This genotype will typically show the recessive trait associated with that allele.
