How do you write the genotype for a trait?

Genotypes are written differently depending on what gene you are referring to. A capital letter means that allele is dominant over an allele written with a lower case letter. For example B is dominant over b. Some genotypes are written using a superscript, such as IAIB for the genotype of a person with blood type AB. Or HbsHbs for a person with sickle cell anaemia (compared to HbSHbS for a person without sickle cell). In this case Hb stands for haemoglobin. Usually the letters chosen relate to the trait involved... for example, if talking about tall plants T would be used to represent the tall allele and t would represent the short allele.
