How do you know...?

No, your original post said hets are carriers for recessive traits, when it could be a carrier of any type of trait (recessive, co-dom, or dominant).

You mean this? That's a het, when there is only one copy!

Holy crap people

Recessive= 2 copies of the same allele needed to create the phenotype (expression). 1 copy is called a "het" and appears normal.

Co-Domiant= Partially expressed phenotype when only one allele present. Full expression when both copies are present. (pastel as an example is only partially expressed, and a super is the full expression of the pastel gene)

Dominant= Fully expressed when only one allele present. (dont matter if it has one or 2 copies, it's fully expressed)

Your really starting to nit pick about the terms were using. In the BALL PYTHON HOBBY, when something is labeled "HET", we mean for a recessive trait.

You know that, so why are you making this so difficult????
