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.
