How is it possible for someone to carry a disorder but not actually have it?

This most commonly occurs if the disorder is recessive, meaning you must carry two copies of the gene which causes the disorder in order to show it.
Everyone has two copies of each gene, one paternal and one maternal. If you only carry one copy (allele) of the gene which causes the recessive disorder and your other copy of that gene is normal, you will not have the disorder. However, you can carry it on if you have a child with someone else who also carries the gene which causes the disorder and the child gets two copies of the disorder gene.
