Depends on what you breed him with, If it a normal, the offspring will be 50% het. If its another100% the offspring will be 100%(or maby double het) and or be albino, piebald,gost ( whatever your tryin to bread)

hope this helped

You were right on the 100% het bred to a normal gets you 50% possible hets. However the 100% het to 100% het gets you 25% homozygous 50% het and 25% normal. So if you breed two 100% het albinos together you will end up with 25% albino 50% het for albino and 25% normal.

And the normal-looking offspring from this are often referred to as 66% possible het, because statistically 2/3rds of the normal-looking offspring should be heterozygous for the trait.
