A healthy carrier is an individual who harbors a pathogen, such as a virus or bacterium, without exhibiting any symptoms of the disease it causes. These carriers can still transmit the pathogen to others, potentially leading to outbreaks, even though they themselves remain healthy. This concept is important in understanding the spread of Infectious Diseases and the role asymptomatic individuals play in public health.

What if man who is carrier for sickle cell amonia a recessive genetic disease non carrier women what proportion of their children are expected afflicted with sickle cell amonia?
I'm guessing you meant sickle cell anemia. You already said that it's recessive, which means that both parents have to be carriers for it to be passed on to their children. If both parents carry the gene, then there is a 1 in 4 chance of having an affected offspring, 2 in 4 chances of having offsprings which carry the disease, and 1 in 4 of the child being unaffected (check out how to draw a punnet square). If one parent is a carrier and the other one is healthy, then you have a 50% chance of having an offspring who carries the disease, but none of your offsprings will be affected. Hope this helps
