using "H" for the hypo allele and "h" for normal allele?

homozygous means that the alleles are the same (HH or hh).
heterozygous (het) means that the alleles are different (Hh).

a non-dominant hypo is "Hh"
a dominant or Super hypo is "HH"
a normal (non-hypo) is "hh"

so a non-dominant hypo ("Hh" is het for Super hypo?

and then,
a jungle is het for Super jungle?
and motley is het for Super motley?

by the way.. it's been about 25 yrs since my highschool genetics class.. but this is fun!
