Off the bat, I see a couple of errors with your SQL. You didn't specify the Data Type of your pk_id. Because it is auto incrementing I would assume it is an INTEGER. Secondly, there is no AUTO_INCREMENTING IT IS AUTO_INCREMENT. So, with those changes your SQL should look something like...

CREATE TABLE t_genres
(pk_id INTEGER AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, 
uk_name VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL UNIQUE KEY);
