het. hypo

Codominant - a gene that causes the homozygous form to look different than the wild-type and the heterozygous form to have traits of both.

When people say Double Het. sunglow, this is actually a correct term. This term describes an animal that is visibly a hypo. and not visibly albino.

Simple recessive traits must have two identical alleles of the same gene for that trait to be visible.

Co dominants can have two different alleles of the same gene and be a visible morph.

The terms homozygous and heterozygous can be applied to simple recessive, co dominant, and even dominant traits.

Lost ya yet?? This might do it. The hypo. trait in boas is now considered "incomplete dominant".
