Answer 1

it's the genetic make-up

Answer 2

The genotype shows how the of letters that are upper(dominant) or lower case(recessive), and what kind of alleles an organism has.

Answer 3

The genotype is how a genetic code describes a specific trait, let's say eye color. The eye color will be the phenotype.
Blue eye color is recessive and brown eye color is dominant. So like @Zale101 said, the dominant color has uppercase letter (let's say the letter B) and recessive has a lowercase, so b. We have a combination of 2 letters that make up the genotype, 1 from each parent. When someone gets a B from the mother and a b from the father, (s)he will have brown eyes, since B is dominant over b. The genotype is Bb. The phenotype is brown eyes.
When someone gets a b from both parents, the genotype will be bb and the phenotype will be blue eyes.

I hope this helps \(\Huge\ddot\smile\)
