Homozygous means that the organism contains two copies of the same allele for a particular gene. Homozygous recessive means that the organism carries two recessive alleles. Such as with the example above, the white-flowered pea plant has two white alleles to make it be expressed that way.
A dominant allele can show with only one copy present (B) and recessive needs two alleles present (bb) to show. Remembering that B = dominant, b = recessive... 1. 'Homo' = same. A homozygous trait means the alleles are the same (bb or BB) 2. heterozygous dominant trait would be composed of two different alleles, and since it's dominant those alleles would be 'Bb' 4. A homozygous recessive trait would have the same alleles but they would be recessive, so a homozygous recessive trait would be 'bb'. Hope that made some sort of sense!
