A given trait refers to a specific characteristic or quality that an individual possesses. This trait can be physical, behavioral, or psychological and is often inherited genetically or influenced by environmental factors. Examples of traits include eye color, personality tendencies, and height.
The individual is said to be homozygous for that trait. This means that both copies of the gene for that trait are identical.
The name given for the actual physical trait of a person is "phenotype." This term refers to the observable characteristics of an organism, which are determined by both genetic and environmental factors.
The number of possible phenotypes for a given trait depends on how many genes control the trait. Each gene may have multiple alleles that can interact to produce different phenotypes. Additionally, environmental factors can also influence the expression of these genes, further increasing the diversity of possible phenotypes.
Homozygous refers to having two identical alleles in a given trait.
The recessive gene - less stronger than the dominant one.
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.

The number of phenotypes produced for a given trait depends on how many genes control the trait.
An organism that has two different alleles for a given trait is referred to as heterozygous for that trait. For example, if one allele codes for a dominant trait and the other for a recessive trait, the dominant trait will typically be expressed in the organism's phenotype. This genetic variation can contribute to diversity within a population and may influence the organism's adaptability to its environment.

The trait for fur color can be both. In some species, like mice, fur color is determined by a single gene with different alleles. In other species, like dogs or humans, fur color can be controlled by multiple genes interacting together (polygenic trait).
