Question

if we cross 2 individuals with heterozygous genotypes for a certain trait that is inherited as dominant-recessive, the offspring will be characterized by?

Answer 1

When true-breeding, or homozygous, individuals that differ for a certain trait are crossed, all of the offspring will be heterozygous for that trait. If the traits are inherited as dominant and recessive, the F1 offspring will all exhibit the same phenotype as the parent homozygous for the dominant trait.
