The genotype of a recessive trait found on a female chromosome will be Xh. Female chromosomes are symbolized by the letter X whereas male chromosomes are symbolized by Y. Also, recessive traits are symbolized by lowercase letters whereas dominant traits are symbolized by uppercase letters. Hence, a recessive trait on female chromosome would be written as Xh.
