Most traits in our body are linked to two genes, one from our mother and one from a father. If you are a carrier for a genetic disease, it means that you have one defective gene and one "normal" gene.

∙ 15y agoA carrier is one who has an allele that can only express itself when it is paired up with an identical allele. For instance, let says there's a woman homozygous dominant for brown eyes (BB) and she mates with someone that has blue eyes (bb). Now, lets say they make a child that is heterozygous (Bb) and the child has brown eyes. Although that child has brown eyes, they aren't dominant homozygous for brown eyes like their mother, they are HETEROZYGOUS and carry the b allele of their father. Thus, we say this child is a carrier of the b allele. They're phenotype is brown eyes, but their genotype is Bb.

What is hereditary character?
hereditary characters are traits that are controlled by genes.Genes are the factors of heredity.They are transmitted from one generation to the next.
What is the name of the study of heredity traits of an organism?
Genetics Genes are the DNA that pass our hereditary traits from generation to generation
Is the manipulation of the DNA of cells to change hereditary traits or produce biological products?
Since biological products, such as human insulin or human growth hormone, are hereditary traits, the manipulation of DNA is performed in order to change hereditary traits, which results in a change in the production of biological products. For example, bacteria do not ordinarily produce human insulin or human growth hormone as hereditary traits. However, manipulating their genome so that they carry human insulin genes or human growth hormone genes is done to change their hereditary traits, such as changes in their production of biological products, so that the bacteria now produce human insulin and human growth hormone.
What do you call a genetic characteristic of the individual?
the answer to this question is traits.
The connection that exist between the genes and hereditary traits requires the deciphering of the information encoded in genes?
Proteins
How do you get traits?
traits are in your genes. some are hereditary
What is the carrier of hereditary information called?
The transmission of hereditary information is associated with chromosomes. In order for a substance to act as a carrier of hereditary information it must be precisely copied during the cell cycle.
