if someone is a Heterozygous carrier of Tay-Sachs they would have to be Tt. Because TT is Homozygous.

What does carrier mean in biology?
carrier--- if someone has part of a disease in their genetics but does not have the diseas themself eg. rets syndrome. It's also the person who is heterozygous for the trait, or disease. Ex: Mn, Jj, Kk, Ll, Tt, ect..
What is true of the allele pair of someone with a genotype of tt?
The allele pair of someone with a genotype TT is homozygous dominant.
What is true of the allele pair of someone with a genotype TT?
The allele pair of someone with a genotype TT is homozygous dominant.
What is the genotype of a carrier of recessive disorder?
A carrier is someone who does not have a disorder but carries the allele on to offspring.
What is genotype AS SS AAA?
You cannot do a cross to determine the genotypes of individuals because there is only one gene here. Genotype consists of the entire genetic makeup of the individual, which cannot be determined by a single gene. Only the alleles S or s is used to express this particular gene. If you're looking for a monohybrid cross between Ss and Ss, while separately wanting a result between ss and ss, then the answers are as follows: Ss x Ss 25% SS 50% Ss 25% ss ss x ss = 100% ss
How can you tell if someone is a carrier?
If their genotype contains both a dominant and a recessive allele for a trait.

What phenotype is produced byBB?
The phenotype is the physical/observable trait of the animal - therefore the phenotype of this rabbit is black fur.The genotype, Bb, makes this rabbit heterozygous.
How does genotype affect phenotypes?
They are related to each other because...Genes and alleles are the traits inside an object, when using a punnet square, we take the genotype out of that object to make experiments.
What is true of the allele pair of someone with the genotype TT?
The allele pair of someone with a genotype TT is homozygous dominant.
What is true of the allele pair of someone with a genotype of tt?
The allele pair of someone with a genotype TT is homozygous dominant.
What is true of the allele pair of someone with a genotype TT?
The allele pair of someone with a genotype TT is homozygous dominant.
What is being carried by a genetic carrier?
A genetic carrier has a dominant and a recessive version of an allele. Normally, the term genetic carrier is used in relation to genetic illnesses where two copies of the recessive allele cause that illness. Therefore, a carrier does not have the illness themself (as the dominant, non-disease allele is expressed over the recessive allele). However, they have the ability to create an offspring who has the double recessive genotype and therefore has the condition if they mate with another carrier or someone who is double recessive (who has the disease).
What is true of someone with genotype TT?
it is homozygous dominant
What is true of someone with a genotype TT?
it is homozygous dominant
What are the chances of a woman with blood type b and a man with blood type ab having a child with type 0?
There is no chance that this baby would have the blood type O. In order for someone to have the blood type O, the genotype must be IoIo. That means that each parent would have to have an O allele in their genotype. In this case only the mother has the possibility of having an O allele. Genotypes of blood type A: IbIb, IbIo Genotype of blood type AB: IaIb Genotype of blood type O: IoIo here is a punit square to show you heterozygous mommy heterozygous daddy IbIo IaIb Ib Io Ib IbIb IbIo Ia IaIb IbIo This child would have 75% chance of having the blood type B and 25% chance of being type AB
What is the genotype of a carrier of recessive disorder?
A carrier is someone who does not have a disorder but carries the allele on to offspring.
