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.
What is a carrier for hemophilia?
A carrier for hemophilia is a female who carries the genetic mutation for hemophilia on one of her X chromosomes, but does not exhibit symptoms of the condition herself. Carriers can pass on the gene mutation to their children, resulting in hemophilia in male offspring. Testing can confirm carrier status.
Is emphysema genetic or inherited?
Emphysema can have genetic components, but it is not typically directly inherited like a Mendelian genetic disorder. Certain genetic factors can increase the likelihood of developing emphysema, particularly in combination with environmental factors like smoking.
The best method for determining if a woman may be a carrier of the trait for color blindness is to?
Several methods can be used to determine if a woman is a carrier of the trait for color blindness, such as genetic testing or pedigree analysis. These methods can help identify the specific genetic mutations that may indicate carrier status. It is recommended to consult with a genetic counselor or healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and appropriate testing.

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).
What is the carrier for all the human genetic material for the next generation?
DNA
Can you be a dominant carrier for chlamydia?
The concept of dominance applies only to genetic diseases. Chlamydia is an infectious disease, not a genetic disease. You can be a carrier of chlamydia; that is, you can be infected and capable of passing the infection without having symptoms.
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
Why can a female be a carrier of a sex linked genetic disorder?
When a female is heterozygous i.e. she possess one allele of disease , she is called carrier .
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.
How are genetic factors passed from one generation to another?
Genetic factors are passed through DNA (or genes).
What is the carrier of a disease known as?
Asymptomatic carrier, a person or organism infected with an infectious disease agent, but displaying no symptomsGenetic carrier, a person or organism that has inherited a genetic trait or mutation, but displaying no symptoms
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 are determinants of intelligence?
genetic factors, environmental factors,race
