Answer
No, there can never be a heterozygous recessive. In case of a heterozygous condition, there is one dominant gene and one recessive gene. The character of dominant gene will be expressed as it will mask the expression of recessive gene. Therefore, the recessive gene will always express in homozygous condition and there cannot be a heterozygous recessive.
