* Heterozygous: An individual with one dominant allele and one recessive allele for a particular trait.

* Homozygous Dominant: An individual with two copies of the dominant allele.

* Homozygous Recessive: An individual with two copies of the recessive allele.

In dominant inheritance, the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele. This means that:

* Heterozygous individuals will have the same phenotype (physical characteristic) as homozygous dominant individuals.

Example:

Let's say the trait is eye color, where brown eyes are dominant (B) and blue eyes are recessive (b):

* Homozygous Dominant (BB): Brown eyes

* Heterozygous (Bb): Brown eyes

* Homozygous Recessive (bb): Blue eyes

As you can see, both individuals with the genotype BB and Bb will have brown eyes, even though they have different combinations of alleles.
