Hybrids represent mule or hinny; P, paternal lines represent male horse or male donkey; M, maternal lines represent female horse or female donkey. Additivity, mule or hinny = (horse + donkey); non-additivity, mule or hinny > (horse + donkey) or mule or hinny < (horse + donkey). High-parent dominance, mule or hinny = P > M or mule or hinny = M > P; low-parent dominance, mule or hinny = P < M or mule or hinny = M < P; over-dominance, mule or hinny > P and mule or hinny > M; under-dominance, mule or hinny < P and mule or hinny < M.
