I'm not sure how much you know so bear with me
The genotype is the combination of genes
lets keep it simple and get to the point
pretend that's eye color D=brown or d= blue
D (dominant) d (Recessive) there are three basic combinations one can inherit:
DD dominant
Dd dominant recessive
dd recessive
Those combinations are genotypes
Phenotype is how the gene is expressed on the body:
DD dominant genotype BROWN eyes is the Phenotype
Dd dominant recessive genotype BROWN eyes is the
Phenotype
dd recessive genotype BLUE eyes are the Phenotype
So one person with DD and the other person with Dd have two different genotype, but they're both have brown eyes (expressed trait); the brown eyes that everyone sees in the two individuals is the Phenotype
I hope that helped
to some it up
a genotype is the specific genes inherites and the phenotype that what the genotype looks like

Well, if you look in the case of Gregor Mendel's experiments with pea plant flowers, then you can use that as an explanation. Phenotype is the outward characteristics, while genotype is the inward genetic sequence, so to speak. Therefore, both of the flowers could be a purple color, although one's genes are both dominant homozygous and the other heterozygous (or, if we use C and c as the genes, CC and Cc respectively).

Dominant phenotypes.

This is a bit of an unclear question IMHO.
I think the questions is asking for the answer 'recessive'.
For example, peas with the phenotype Rr and RR would both be round if the R = round allele is dominant to the r = wrinkled allele. All wrinkled peas would have to be rr.
(By the way, I don't remember if round is actually dominant or recessive or if R/r is used to represent the allele.)

they would be heterozygous and homozygous and the pheno's would be the dominant trait
