Is a person who is homozygous recessive for a recessive genetic disese a carrier?

As long as a persons genotype consists of at least one recessive gene, they can pass it on to offspring to give them the disease, which makes them a carrier. Since this persons genes are both recessive, it is definite that they will pass on the recessive gene.

What are the examples of genetic industry?
Related with the multiplication of biological plants and animals for the production of bio-products like skin, wool, medicinal herbs,etc. It involves activities in reproducing and multiplying certain species of plants and animals for the sake of earning profit from their sale. Fish culture, cattle breeding, goatery and piggery are included in genetic industries.

A disese which is constantly present in an area is called as "endemic disease." A disease which spreds in a small area is called as "epidemic". A disease which spreads throughout the world is called as "pandemic". Eg. The recent psread of the bird-flu from china to other parts of the world.
What purpose do disease-causing microbes serve in an ecosystem?
Disease causing-causing microbes keep the the species healthy. There is short term gain of drinking totally sterile water. But over very long term it may hamper the immune system of the human being. You should give serious thought of feeding the population with attenuated microbes so that there immune system is kept at it's alert. So disese causing organisms keep the species healthy is a biological fact. But when it comes to apply the same, you can not apply it.

Name a disease which results from a genetic effect and explain how the genetic defect can bring about to this disease?
As there are many diseses but the most common is sickle cell anaemia. this can be transmitted from parents to offsprings when both the partners are carrier for this disese. this disese is caused due to mutation in the gene i.e. it is caused by the substitution of glutamic acid(glu) by valine(val) at sixth position of the beta globin chain of haemoglobin molecule. the substitution of acid results due to single base substitution at the sixth codon of beta globin gene from GAG to GUG. the mutant haemoglobin molecule undergoes polymerisaTION UNDER LOW OXYGEN TENSION CAUSING THE CHANGE IN THE SHAPE OF RBC FROM BICONCAVE DISC TO ELONGATED SICKLE LIKE STRUCTURE.
