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.

Which is true regarding carrier network infrastructure problems?
Carrier network infrastructure problems generally involve complications with the network system of telecommunications services used to transmit data over a distance.
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).
A pedigree chart shows relationships within a family?
A pedigree shows the possible outcomes of traits in offspring. It shows if the offspring will have the trait, or if they will be a carrier. Pedigrees also show the previous generations how the future generations inherited the trait. The past generations can be labeled as F1 and the future are F2, which is our current generation.
Is the sodium potassium pump a carrier protein?
the carrier protein of Na-k pump is an ion carrier protein and the pump cannot be termed as the carrier protein its a biochemical phenomenon
Is Edward's syndrome caused by a recessive gene?
Edward's syndrome is not technically recessive or dominant, because it is not caused by a single gene. Rather it happens due to a trisomy of chromosome 18 (or just of a part of said chromosome). Parent's may be healthy and still have offspring with the syndrome not because its recessive, but because the trisomy arises during meiosis of the gametes. Whatever happens to the gametes affects only the offspring not the carrier parent.
What is a chickenpox carrier?
A carrier of chickenpox, like a carrier of any infectious disease, is someone who is infected and can transmit the germ but does not yet have symptoms. A chickenpox carrier is someone who's spreading the virus but does not yet have symptoms.
Those who have and transmit the disease organism but do not have symptoms and do not display evisence of the disease?
They are called carrier's.
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
What is the cause of DNA disorders and diseases?
When the DNA molecules spit during Meiosis and a disorder is copied into the baby's new DNA, it might get the disorder, or it may just become a carrier. A carrier has the disease or disorder in it's DNA but doesn't show any symptoms of it. The carrier can still pass the disease or disorder on to their kids though. That's what I learned in grade 11 biology!
How is carrier different from a person that has a disorder?
The carrier typically remains unaffected by the disorder.
Can you be a carrier of hpv without having it yourself?
No you can not be a carrier of HPV without having it yourself. A "carrier" is a common language term for someone who has infection and can infect others, but who has no symptoms of the infection. You can't pass an infectious disease like HPV unless you yourself are infected.
Does your partner need to have Mono to be able to pass it on to you?
Yes, they do in fact have to have mono in order to pass it on to others. That does not mean however, that they have to have symptoms of mono. A person can be a carrier, meaning that they have no signs or symptoms of a disease but are carrying it and can transmit it to others.
When does Carrier Signal occur?
The carrier signal occurs at the beginning to transmit information.
Can you get a disease from eating your own sperm?
No you can't transmit a disease to yourself but you can transmit it to someone else if you are a carrier of a disease . It might. It all depends if the carrier has an STD.
What is a carrier of a disease?
A carrier is someone who is able to transmit the disorder to someone else without being affected by it themselves. An example of this is hemophilia where the mother can carry the disease but she can only give it to some of her sons.
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.
Why analog data have to be modulated onto an analog signal?
For transmission through a radiowave.
