homozygous means you have two alleles with the same characteristic.

example; two alleles for brown eyes

recessive means that when you have two different alleles, one of then doesn't show its trait

example; one allele for brown eyes and one allele for green eyes gives brown eyes, because green eyes are recessive

people who have green eyes have homozygous recessive alleles for green eyes (two alleles for green eyes)
