I have used dominant for Hypos because you can't distinguish between the heterozygous and homozygous hypos with 100% certainty. So they are not co-dominant. However, by the definition I have of incomplete dominant mutations they are very similar to dominant mutations in the way they work, the variable comes into play with breeding to other mutations. I don't really know if this makes sense. I haven't used the incomplete dominance label before, but in an effort to better explain the characteristics of inheritance for each mutation, I thought this might be a good fit. Perhaps I should revert back. I do not want to misslead anyone, and I feel I have a fairly good handle on this stuff. Based on the phenotypes of boas with Hypo mutant genes, and the variability that does exist, I figured there has to be a reason and the incomplete dominance label may help to signify this. I realize this would be the first use of the term in the boid world.
