The genetics

Hypo

Recessive

(Evans/Dutch Hypo) — Hypo is a recessive, true hypomelanistic mutation that reduces rather than eliminates melanin. Dorsal blotches come out brighter and more saturated — often orange instead of brown — while the dark eyes are retained.

What makes a Hypo

  • Two copies of Hypo — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.

This describes the genetics of the animal itself — not the odds from a pairing. Outcome odds are the Genetics Calculator's job.
