The genotype would be small letters, for an example, (yy). It depends on which letter is used to represent the dominant and recessive allele. Dominant would be classified as (Y) and recessive will be (y). It is mentioned that when an organism expresses a recessive phenotype, it needs to have two recessive allele to express it, thus explaining the answer of (yy).
