A "dominant" hypo is the homozygous,(or,"super" ) form of the hypo trait...in order to produce one,BOTH parents need to be "hypo" gene carriers...the same is true of albinos,for example---You cannot produce an albino unless BOTH parents being bred carry the trait,either as a het.,or,homozygous albino.the big difference is that we can SEE which babies are het. for the hypo trait,whereas the albino mutation is recessive in the first generation.(when bred out to a non-gene carrier.)
