The way people write out dominant and recessive traits is the dominant one gets a capital letter and the recessive one a lower case letter. So for eye color, brown is B and blue is b. As I said above, people have two versions of each gene so you can be BB, Bb, or bb--BB and Bb have brown eyes, bb, blue eyes. Versions of genes are often dominant because the recessive version actually does nothing (click here to learn about other ways that gene versions can be dominant). In the eye color example above, the brown version of the gene makes a pigment that turns your eye brown but the blue version does not make a blue pigment.
