Heterozygous:
A genotype consisting of two different alleles of a gene for a particular trait (Aa). Individuals who are heterozygous for a trait are referred to as heterozygotes.
Using Pastel as an example, in a normal ball python the genes should look like
nnpp
nn= normal
pp= the normal gene that would be in place of the pastel gene
A pastel would look like this
nnPp
nn= normal
Pp= Pastel
As you can see in these genes Pp that it is heterozygous. Making a visual pastel, but it is heterozygous.
A super pastel would look like this
nnPP
nn= normal
PP= super pastel
This makes a homozygous form.
