a being the recessive gene
Homozygous recessive refers to the genotypic condition where an individual has two copies of the recessive allele that leads to the expression of a recessive trait.
They are the same
With an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, a person needs to have 2 copies of a gene change to have the condition. In most cases, people with an autosomal recessive condition get one gene change from the mother and one gene change from the father.The parents of a person with an autosomal recessive condition may not have the condition themselves, since each parent only needs to have one copy of the gene change. People with one copy of the gene change are called carriers, who do not have the condition, but are more likely to have children with the condition. Other family members (uncles, aunts, brothers, cousins, etc) may also be carriers.
A synonym for homozygous recessive is "homozygous for a recessive trait." This term refers to an individual who has two identical recessive alleles for a particular gene. In genetic notation, it is often represented as "aa," where "a" signifies the recessive allele.
A homozygous recessive individual (ss) carries two copies of the recessive allele and does not possess a dominant allele. Therefore, when this individual produces gametes, all gametes will carry only the recessive allele (s). Consequently, the probability of a homozygous recessive individual producing a gamete with a dominant allele is 0%.

Homozygous recessive refers to the genotypic condition where an individual has two copies of the recessive allele that leads to the expression of a recessive trait.
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.
A recessive trait can only be expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele, one inherited from each parent. If only one copy is present, the dominant allele will be expressed instead.
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.
this condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern ,which means both copies of the gene in each cell have mutations,the parents of an individual with autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of mutated gene but they typically do not show symptoms or signs of the condition
recessive trait only appear when an individual is homozygous recessive, both alleles must code for the recessive trait

In genetics, you can either have a dominant allele (A) or a recessive allele (a). Being homozygous means that you have both of either a dominant or a recessive allele (ie you are either AA or aa). If the trait is a recessive trait, then you need to have it be homozygous recessive in order to express that trait. Hope this was helpful! :-)
A test cross between a homozygous recessive and a heterozygous individual will yield 50% of offspring as homozygous recessive. This is because all the offspring will inherit one recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent.
1/2 or 50%. The homozygous recessive gentoype contains two recessive alleles for the gene for a trait. So the homozygous recessive individual can pass on only recessive alleles to an offspring. The heterozygous individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for the gene for a trait. So the heterozygous individual can pass on either a dominant or a recessive allele to an offspring. So if an offspring inherits a recessive allele from the heterozygous parent, along with the recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent, it will have the homozygous recessive genotype and phenotype.
