  • Understanding Homozygous Recessive Genotypes: Definition & Examples
    A homozygous genotype where both alleles are recessive is called homozygous recessive.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Homozygous: Means having two identical alleles for a particular trait.

    * Recessive: Means that the allele's trait is only expressed if two copies of it are present.

    For example, if the gene for eye color has two alleles: brown (B) and blue (b), where brown is dominant and blue is recessive, then a person with the genotype bb is homozygous recessive for blue eyes.
