If there are no unknown hets, you'd get all normals het for amel.

Het means that a particular gene pair (in this case, pertaining to amel) is made up of two different genes, as opposed to two identical copies.

In this case, "het for amel" means that it is carrying one copy of the amel gene (a<sup>a</sup>) paired with one copy of the wild-type (A<sup>+</sup>) gene.

The jargon in any given subject can be incredibly nonintuitive.

Check out the "Sooo confused" thread today on this forum. It asks the same question.

As you see , they are het for amel , not for candycane , because candycane is a selective bred of amel .
If you want to read more about this , look at the Corn Morph Guide

well candycane is "just" a Amel and if there are no hets on either side, the offspring will be, Normal het amel.

The offspring from candycane x Okeetee would all be 100% het for amel.
