Why are heterozygus individuals called carriers for non-sex-linked and X-linked recessive patterns of inheritance?

Aa. This is the heterozygous condition. Two alleles, one of which is dominant and masks the expression ( to varying degrees ) of the other allele. 'A' dominant and 'a' recessive. So, if the trait in question is the recessive allele the dominant allele masks its expression and the organism is a ' carrier ' of the trait and can pass it on to progeny.

What was Gregor Mendel's biggist contribution to biology?
Gregor Mendel discovered the dominant and recessive mode of genetic inheritance.
Dominant wrinkled pea recessive smooth pea?
Wrinkled peas are recessive, smooth peas are dominant.
What did Gregor Mendel study?
He studied dominant and recessive genes. He studied pea plants and the traits that they obtained from previous generations.
Royal hemophilia is the result of what inheritance?
Hemophilia is broken into three subcategories; Hemophilia A, Hemophilia B, and Hemophilia C. These subcategories designate a person as having a deficiency of one of three specific clotting proteins. Hemophilia A is the deficiency of the protein called Clotting Factor VIII. Hemophilia B is the deficiency of Clotting Factor IX. Hemophilia C is the deficiency of Clotting Factor XI. "Royal" hemophilia is simply a reference to Hemophilia B and is therefore a result of a deficiency in the Clotting Factor IX protein. It is sometimes called the royal disease because it has been known to have been passed through some royal families throughout history.
Gregor Mendel worked out a theory of?
Inheritance Patterns! By studying pea plants, Mendal came up with 4 theories of inheritance patterns: 1) Alternate forms of genes exist 2) 2 genes per trait exist 3) A gamete only carries one allele 4) There is a dominant and a recessive allele

What is the inheritance of the sickle cell anemia?
autosomal recessive
What is the mode of inheritance for cystic fibrosis?
Autosomal recessive.
In X-linked recessive inheritance what sex is the affected?
There are 2 X-linked recessive inheritance where Only Male or Men are the only people who inherits these kind of trait.
What term describes the inheritance if cystic fibrosis?
The term that best describes the inheritance of cystic fibrosis is that it is genetic. Cystic fibrosis is caused by recessive alleles. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.
When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?
When two recessive genes are inherited, and the portion of recessive inheritance is 51% or greater in favor of the recessive trait.
What is the mode of inheritance for sickle-cell anemia?
autosomal recessive
