Effects of this recessive disorder can be completely overcome by regulating the diet of the affected individual?
Recessive disorders are genetic conditions that can be managed but not completely cured by dietary changes.

It is important for individuals with recessive disorders to work closely with healthcare providers to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that may include dietary modifications.

How is a carrier different from a person who has genetic disorder?
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
