When you crosses 2plantsof the samepure linesparentage, the resultingF1is termed as true-breeding plants. The genetical make up is said to be homozygous, meaning the gene paring is of the same category, either both dominant (designated by both capital letters) or both are recessive (both genes are written as small letters). The cross will gives result to similar phenotype, in every aspect, as though they are reproduced using cloning technique.

Hope it helps .
