There are three genotypes.

Homozygous - Having two dominant genes. Heterozygous - Having one dominant gene and one recessive gene. Homozygous - Having two recessive genes.

If two organisms are dominant for a specific trait and produce an offspring that is recessive for that particular trait, the parent organisms have a heterozygous genotype.
