Almost 100% sure that they're called carriers.

Why were heterozygous individuals called carriers for non-sex-linked and x-linked recessive patterns of inheritance?
I don't know and don't care
What is the difference between pai-1 5g4g heterozygous and pai-1 4g4g homozygous?
PAI-1 heterozygous is an inherited blood disorder from ONE parent-ONE copy of the gene. PAI-1 Homozygous is an inherited blood disorder from BOTH parents-TWO copies of the gene.
What is a reccesive gene?
an allele that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele. Only expressed when paired with another recessive allele.
Is eye color a homozygous recessive genetic disorder?
Blue eyes - homozygous recessive Brown eyes - homozygous dominant Brown eyes with one brown allele and one blue allele - heterozygous
How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation in a non-sex cell?
Mutations in sex cells can be passed on to children. Mutations in sex cells only affect offspring. Mutations in sex cells do not affect the organism.

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.
Can sickle cell trait skip a generation?
yes it can skip a generation, since it is a Mendel inheritance. and it is a reccesive trait. therefore offspring's can have two unaffected parents but chances are both parents might be carriers
The genetic disorder sickle cell disease is an example of heterozygous dominance?
Yes. Heterozygous dominance offers a way to preserve the mutated allele.
What genetic disorder can be beneficial in its heterozygous form?
Sickle Cell Anemia, in it's heterozygous form it does not present as the disease and it gives the carrier resistance to malaria.
What is the probability a woman heterozygous for an x-linked trait will have a son with a genetic disorder if the genetic disorder is recessive?
It will be all about the gains and shreins
What is the difference between genetic a disorder and a genetic mutation?
Mutation is any change in the genetic code of an individual regardless of how the change manifests. A genetic disorder is the result of an unfavorable mutation that results through through heterozygous recessive parents producing a homozygous recessive offspring, a random dominant mutation, or multiple polygenic mutations that compound for a negative effect on an individual as examples.
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene which if any will have the disorder?
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene, offspring will only have the disorder if both parents have the recessive gene.
What is the difference between pai-1 5g4g heterozygous and pai-1 4g4g homozygous?
PAI-1 heterozygous is an inherited blood disorder from ONE parent-ONE copy of the gene. PAI-1 Homozygous is an inherited blood disorder from BOTH parents-TWO copies of the gene.
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.
Is a disorder know as a dominant or recessive?
Dominant disorders can be passed onto the offspring if the dominant gene is present in the offspring.
What is the probability of a genetic disorder in offspring?
The answer depends on the genes of the parents and further ancestors.
