Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Individuals with one dominant normal allele and one recessive abnormal allele who don't develop the related disorder are known as carriers. They carry the abnormal allele and can pass it on to their children, who may develop the disorder if they inherit two copies of the abnormal allele. Mutants are individuals with a genetic mutation or anomaly, and this term does not specifically apply to individuals with one normal and one abnormal allele. Recessives and dominants refer to the inheritance pattern of certain alleles, but do not specifically apply to individuals who are carriers of a disorder.
