Why are most genetic defects related to enzyme function recessive disorders?
Most genetic defects related to enzyme function are recessive because most are lethal and can only persist because heterozygote carriers can live to reproduce.

Sex-linked.
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.

This can provide valuable information about an individual's genetic predisposition to certain diseases.

Why can females but not males be carriers of sex linked genetic disorders?
Females have two X chromosomes, allowing them to be carriers of sex-linked genetic disorders on one X chromosome while having a normal allele on the other X chromosome. Males have only one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, so any genetic disorder on their single X chromosome will manifest as the disorder rather than being masked.

Which research studystudies focusesfocus on the interaction between the environment and genetics in the development of psychological disorders?
"Psychopathology" is the name of the field that involves psychological disorders. When you're looking at interaction between genetic and environmental factors, you're looking at "The interactionist approach". To every topic, there are several approaches, e.g. your genetic makeup is the only factor in developing psychological disorders (Biological approach), or conditioning is the only factor (Behavioural approach), etc (there more approaches). So in full, you're looking for "The interactionist approach to psychopathology"
