Hi Roy. I'm sorry for being dense but what does het mean? Cheers
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.
If there are no unknown hets, you'd get all normals het for amel.
As you see , they are het for amel , not for candycane , because candycane is a selective bred of amel .
