I have always refered to Hypos as dominant, but I am begining to think that incomplete dominant might be a better label.

When Rich first published his paper he called the mutation incomplete dominant. I am familiar with your analogy with the flower, white X red = pink.

I think that since the Hypos have so much variability within a litter between both heterozygous and homozygous forms, and since they contribute variably when combined with other mutations that the incomplete dominance label is fitting. Obviously in cases such as this, we are left to label the mutation the best way we can, and this is really only done for understanding on a common basis.

What do you think?
