does not make it correct!!

Hypo is a single gene pair mutation wher the mutant gene is dominant over the normal gene. Further more, it is typically classified as a dominant mutation. Not a co-dominant mutation as many like to say. A dominant mutation will have two distinct Phenotypes or visualy different appearances. So, when identifying outcomes, there are three possible outcomes depending on the genetics of the parents:

Het hypo X het hypo =
25% homozygous hypo
50% heterozygous hypo
25% homozygous normal
or
75% hypo (33% homozygous)
25% normal
since the het and homozygous would have the same phenotype

Het hypo X Homozygous hypo =
50% het hypo
50% homozygous hypo
or
100% hypo (50% homozygous)

Homozygous hypo X homozygous hypo
100% homozygous hypo



>>It is hard to disagree with salmonboa but that is not my understanding and since I have never bred hypo to hypo my understanding is limited.(very)

>>Read hypo to hypo on this chart.
