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 does carrier mean in science terms?
A carrier is an organism that inherits a specific genetic trait but does not show the trait in their phenotype, or physical appearance.

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.
What is the justification of a research study?
This explains the reasons why the study is being carried out.
What hypothesis did Giffith form from the results of his experiment?

What is the name for a paper carrier?
Newsboy? Depends on what sort of paper is being carried, in what circumstances.
What is a genetic carrier?
A carrier is a person who carries a gene(most-likely for a genetic disorder) but do not have the trait controlled by the gene.
Who is the carrier of a cleft palate?
A cleft palate is a congenital condition caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It is not typically carried by a single carrier, but rather can be passed down through generations and may increase in likelihood if there is a family history of the condition.
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
Was the naval battle carried out by aircraft carrier?
Only in WWII.
What component contains the genetic code?
The genetic code is carried in the DNA on the chromosomes.
Why are there no carrier states with the dominantly inherited traits?
Everyone who has the genetic error gets the disease, because the bad gene is dominant. There is no such thing as a carrier for a dominant disease. A few dominant genetic diseases like Huntington's disease only cause symptoms later in life, so that people cannot know that they have the disease in early life, but this is not the same as being a carrier: these people actually have the disease.
How did Lindbergh return from Paris in 1927?
He was carried on an aircraft carrier with his plane
What insect is a carrier of endemic typhus?
Endemic typhus is carried by fleas.
Are most genetic diseases evenly distributed among ethnic groups?
The problem with genetic diseases is that they are never gone. Say bob has the hemophelia desease and his wife is a carrier of the disease as well. Their children have a one in two chance of having the disease or being carriers because the disease is recessive. Now if bob's wife was not a carrier, their children would have a one in one chance of being a carrier. The problem is the disease is spread by the carriers.
What is the carrier of genetic factors?
The carrier of genetic factors is DNA, which is found in the nucleus of cells. DNA contains the instructions for building and maintaining an organism, including the coding for traits such as eye color, height, and susceptibility to certain diseases. These genetic factors are passed on from one generation to the next through reproduction.
What carries genetic code?
The genetic code of organisms is carried by the DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid. It is inherited by children from their parents.The genetic code is carried by the DNA molecule. The DNA molecule is the one that stores all genetic information for most living things.
