the information i posted was copy and pasted from a word document that i made also.

there is a great deal of confusion concerning mutations in boas because many genetics terms are frequently miss used. often people do refer to heterozygous hypos as f1s because they are usualy the result of a hypo x normal paring. but technically a heterozygous hypo bred to an unrealted heterozygous hypo would result in homozygous (super) hypos that would be considered the f1 group.
other genetics terms are miss used like dominant and co-dominant when refering to hypos and ghosts being heterozygous and homozygous. i have seen it many times (classifides ect) when someone refers to a heterozygous animal as co-dominant and a homozygous animal as dominant.
a better understanding of the terms makes it easier to understand what someone is trying to say even when they use words incorrectly.

glad i could help.
