A pair of lowercase letters represents a recessive gene.
For further clarification, if needed... If the punnett square was for dark hair being dominant over blonde hair, the offspring that was represented by two lowercase letters in a punnett square would have a phenotype of blonde hair.
You can find the degree classification by what is the greatest power shown in the polynomial. In this case, your answer is 2. Remember, it will be easier to find the degree when you order the terms from greatest to least by powers.
