    Pp, capital P represents a dominant gene. So, the genes with the capital p all show the dominant trait. Only when both are lowercase p's does it show the recessive trait.

    Pp

    Recessive is always lower case. If something has the recessive trait, it has to have two lower case, if it had one upper case it would have a dominant allele and therefore wouldn't have the recessive trait
