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 can you tell if someone is a carrier?
If their genotype contains both a dominant and a recessive allele for a trait.
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).
