    You got it!

    Now... the word "het" is short for heterozygous, which means that out of the two sets of genes that every animal has, it carries one mutated gene. So, in theory, yellowbellies are het (heterozygous) for ivory, which is the "super" or homozygous (meaning it has both mutated genes) form.
