Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Only individuals with an aa genotype will express a recessive trait; therefore, offspring must receive one recessive allele from each parent to exhibit a recessive trait.

Detailed explanation-2: -The genotype aa would result in an individual with the recessive phenotype. aa is a homozygous genotype that consists of two recessive alleles. There is no dominant allele present in this genotype to overrule the effect of recessive alleles. Aa is a heterozygous genotype.
