Can a person be a carrier for a dominant genetic disorder?
Anyone can be a carrier of a recessive genetic disorder (as long as it is not associated with the sex chromosomes) no matter what their gender since "carrier" refers to an individual that is heterozygous for the recessive allele and therefore phenotypically normal. Specifically, sexlinked genetic disorders can be "carried" by a heterozygous female but males (having only one X chromosome) cannot. Males will either be free of the defective gene or be affected.

How do you know if a characteristic or disorder is sex linked?
If it occurs most commonly in males, or if the mother is a carrier.
Why are x linked recessive traits more common in males than females?
Males have XY - therefore they only need one copy of the defective X in order to have the disorder.Females have XX - meaning they would need two copies of the defective allele in order to have the disorder. This means their father must have the disorder, and their mother must either have the disorder or be a carrier.
