Capital letters on Punnett Squares represent dominant genes, while lowercase letters represent recessive genes. For example, if the trait "T" is a tall gene and the trait "t" is a short gene. When you get your results (if both parents are heterozygous for tallness, Tt) you get four possible results, 1 TT (homozygous tall), 2 Tt (twice, heterozygous tall Tt), and 1 tt (homozygous short). If there is a dominant gene there, that gene will be displayed. Only if there are two recessive genes will the recessive trait be displayed.
A capital letter in a Punnet Square represents a dominate allele.

Punnett square
Two alleles represent a gene. ETC- The paternal (fathers) allele is B (for brown eyes) The mothers (maternal) is b ( for blue eyes) The capital B is the dominant allele, lowercase b is recessive. Therefore, a punnet square will show the offspring can be either hetrozygous or homozygous (recessive or dominant) Alleles represent the charactersitic, while a gene is a segment of DNA where heredity is based.

A dominant gene
A capital letter in a Punnet Square represents a dominate allele.
A capital letter in a punnet square stands for a domminant trait, or one that will most likely appear. --Stew Pidacel
recessive
capital letters are dominant traits. Lower case letters are recessive traits.
In a Punnett square, a capital letter represents a dominant allele.
A genotypic combination
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
