_________R______R                     x (Homozygous)
                                               y (Heterozygous
__R_____RR_____RR

__r______Rr______Rr
     

See the table? RR crossed with Rr would produce 2 homozygous and 2 heterozygous offspring, (50% RR and 50%Rr). Remember however that This is speaking strictly of the genotype. An RR has a homozygous genotype and will thus have a homozygous phenotype however the heterozygous offspring, (The Rr), will have a heterozygous genotype yet it will also show a homozygous phenotype because as I'm sure you know, R is dominant over r. Got it?
  For further help I highly recommend the Khan Academy, (best site on earth in my opinion), (Khanacademy.org) as well as another site that calculates Punnett squares for you, ChangeBioScience.org. The links are below.
Enjoy!
