A carrier means that you have the gene for the disorder, but because the gene is recessive (meaning that it only shows when you have two recessive genes) and you obviously have a dominant gene as well, you won't show the disorder. Someone who actually has the disorder has two recessive genes.
D = dominant gene
r = recessive gene
Dr = carrier, no signs
rD = carrier, no signs
DD = not a carrier, no signs
rr = has the disorder

What is a heterozygous person called?
A heterozygous person is called a carrier for the specific trait or gene they carry. This means they have two different alleles for a particular gene, with one dominant and one recessive allele. It is important to note that being heterozygous for a genetic disorder does not necessarily mean the individual will exhibit symptoms of the disorder.
A carrier is a person who has-?
a person who maybe carring the baby
Inserting working copies of a gene directly into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder is called what?
That process is called gene therapy. It involves inserting functional copies of a gene into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder to correct the genetic mutation causing the disorder.
What is a Cocktail Personality Disorder?
It is a disorder in which a person takes on different personalities. It is different from Multiple Personality Disorder because in MPD, the person has no idea that he or she is taking on more than one personality.
What is a X linked carrier homozygous?
An X linked carrier is one who carries a mutation in a gene found on the X sex chromosome. A carrier of the trait doesn't display phenotypic symptoms of the disease or mutation but can transfer the mutation in that gene to their offspring (ex: the carrier of a premutation that when transferred to the offspring via the X chromosome will cause the full mutation associated with that gene). A person could be a homozygous carrier if for instance, she were female (two X chromosomes) and carried the premutation associated with the disease. Some diseases need both alleles of the gene to be mutated. If only one allele is mutated (heterozygote) that person may be a carrier for that mutation and can thus pass on that mutation to their children.
What is a genetic carrier?
A carrier is a person who carries a gene(most-likely for a genetic disorder) but do not have the trait controlled by the gene.
How is carrier different from a person that has a disorder?
The carrier typically remains unaffected by the disorder.
A carrier of a genetic disorder who does not show symptoms is most likely to be to transmit it to offspring?
A carrier of a genetic disorder who does not show symptoms is most likely to be heterozygous for the trait and able to transmit it to his offspring. The term heterozygous refers to a pair of gene with one dominant trait and one recessive trait.
What is a heterozygous person called?
A heterozygous person is called a carrier for the specific trait or gene they carry. This means they have two different alleles for a particular gene, with one dominant and one recessive allele. It is important to note that being heterozygous for a genetic disorder does not necessarily mean the individual will exhibit symptoms of the disorder.
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.
Do dominant genetic disorders follow mendelian genetics?

Who is a person that is a carrier for a sex-linked recessive disorder?
Usually female.
An abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes is a?
An abnormal condition that a person inherits through the chromosomes or genes is a genetic disorder.
What is the carrier of a disease known as?

Is hemophilia a bacteria a virus or a protist?
It is a genetic disease. Hemophilia is a genetic blood disorder. The person with this disorder has blood that doesn't clot as it should. It is not caused by a bacteria, virus or a protist.
