Because a genotype is symbology for the actual alleles of a particular gene. Since all genes come in pairs (on the 22 pairs of body chromosomes), one from each chromosome. Examples: BB Bb or bb . Usually capital letters are used to describe dominant alleles and lower case for recessive alleles.

Genotypes are written with two letters to represent the two alleles inherited from each parent. The letters represent different forms of a gene, with one letter from the mother and one from the father, to show the genetic composition of an individual for a particular trait.

How is a genotype written?
A genotype is typically written using a combination of letters or symbols that represent the genetic makeup of an individual. For example, in humans, a genotype for blood type can be written as A, B, AB, or O based on the specific alleles inherited from each parent. Each letter represents a different form of the gene present on each pair of chromosomes.

What following genotypes will express a dominant trait?
For a dominant trait to be expressed, you either need a RR or an Rr genotype. The other genotype, rr, is recessive only. In genetics, capital letters represent a dominant allele, and lower case letters represent the recessive allele.
