    I'm not disputing that a lesser is a heterozygous mutation. I'm just saying that I don't be assuminga we areare calling themy allele lesserlieve it is accurate to refer to the animal as "het lesser."
    Thinking that way causes confusion, why do people assume that het implies anything other than what it actually means? I also find the last part contradicting because your saying you think is inacurate to call it heterozygous lesser, which it is. Assuming we are calling the allele lesser
