A recessive trait is known as the characteristic that is the outward expression of the gene. Recessive traits can be masked by dominant traits but are still present if the gene is present in the organism.
No. Parents with the dominant phenotype might be heterozygous in their genotype. This means they could carry both the dominant and recessive allele for a trait. So they could both pass the recessive allele to an offspring, who would then have the homozygous recessive genotype and recessive phenotype.
The phenotype of the F1 generation was all tall.
Only a homozygous recessive individual will have the phenotype created by two recessive alleles.Since the term produce might indicate the production of offspring parents that can only produce offspring with a recessive phenotype must both have homozygous recessive genotypes.
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.
If 50% of the offspring show the dominant phenotype and 50% show the recessive phenotype, it is likely that one parent is heterozygous (Aa) for the trait and the other parent is homozygous recessive (aa). This would result in a 1:1 ratio of offspring showing each phenotype.

He would have the recessive phenotype for that trait.

If you cross a purebred dominant and a purebred recessive individual, the offspring would be considered hybrids, not purebreds. Purebreds result from breeding within the same purebred line, whereas hybrids are the result of crossing individuals from two different purebred lines.
When the dominant and recessive traits are known, using the term "homozygous" for the recessive phenotype is redundant because it implies that both alleles are the same (rr for a recessive phenotype). It is clear that the individual is homozygous for the recessive allele by observing their phenotype.
To produce a pea plant that only displays the recessive phenotype both of the parents must also have the recessive phenotype. In a four square, if one parent displays the recessive phenotype while the other has the dominant phenotype, one of every four offspring should theoretically receive the recessive phenotype as well, but if you want all offspring to be recessive, both parents must also be recessive.

its a recessive trait or characteristic
To determine which alleles are recessive in the seed phenotype, you would need to compare the phenotype of the plants with known dominant phenotypes. Typically, if a phenotype appears in a generation that resembles the parents but differs from the dominant traits, those traits associated with the appearance of phenotype "a" are likely recessive. Observing the inheritance patterns in subsequent generations can further clarify which alleles are recessive based on the phenotypes that re-emerge when homozygous recessive individuals are bred.
A recessive trait is a trait that is not dominant, and is not really seen in ones phenotype.
