Correct. A so-called "25%er" is either Heterozygous or it is not Heterozygous. The "50%er" label may be considered appropriate.

Incorrect. A 50% chance of a 50% chance is only 25% chance. Therefore the "50%er" label may be considered appropriate.

Either viewpoint is perfectly arguable. (And we proved that a while ago in an excruciatingly long and meaningless thread.) However, the statistical probability is not the only reason we commonly differentiate the 25%ers from the 50%ers. The "25%er" label also denotes lineage. This is important for recordkeeping.

I was never completely convinced either way, but I do believe that for the sake of lineage and recordkeeping it is best to accept and implement the "25%er" label.

At least that's how I see it...and I see through the eyes of a God.
