No, because he or she cannot pass the gene on to his or her offspring (because he or she does not have a copy of the gene).
A carrier is typically heterozygous for a particular genetic trait or condition, meaning they have different alleles for that gene. This allows carriers to pass on the trait to their offspring, but they do not typically express the associated phenotype themselves.
A carrier would have to by heterozygous. Carriers don't express the "carried" allele but have it nevertheless. This means it has to have one allele of each. For example, if a trait has alleles A (dominant) and a (recessive), the heterozygous genotype will be Aa and will display the dominant phenotype (unless the trait is a special/more complex type of expression like incomplete dominance).
The term carrier in a heterozygous individual refers to the fact that the unexpressed characteristic can still be passed to 50% of any produced offspring thus the trait can be carried forward to the next generation, even if the trait remains unexpressed for more than one generation.
Yes, it is true that a carrier is always a heterozygous individual.
No. They have one allele and it is 'hidden' in their genetic make up by a dominate allele.

What genotype is Yy homozygous or heterozygous?
Yy is a heterozygous genotype. Homozygous would be YY or yy.
What is the probability of offspring for 2 heterozygous dogs?
The probability of offspring for two heterozygous dogs (Aa x Aa) is 25% homozygous dominant (AA), 50% heterozygous (Aa), and 25% homozygous recessive (aa) based on Mendelian genetics principles.
What term defines alleles that are different?
Heterozygous
Is the BB genotype heterozygous or homozygous?
Heterozygous
If someone is a heterozygous carrier of the tay-sachs gene what is their genotype?
Their genotype would be Tt for Tay-Sachs, with one copy of the normal gene (T) and one copy of the mutated gene (t).
Is asthma homozygous or heterozygous?
heterozygous
What are the genotype a of a homozygous and a heterozygous tall pea plant?
homozygous- TT; heterozygous- Tt :)
What genotype is Yy homozygous or heterozygous?
Yy is a heterozygous genotype. Homozygous would be YY or yy.
What genotype could be described as heterozygous?
Yes - Hh is heterozygous. HH is homozygous, and hh is homozygous.
What is the antonym for heterozygous?
Homozygous
What is the probability of 2 heterozygous individuals producing a heterozygous recessive offspring?
The probability is 50%. There are four probabilities: dominant homozygous, recessive homozygous, or heterozygous.
Is AA an homozygous or an heterozygous?
AA could be either homozygous or heterozygous, depending on whether the individual inherited the same allele (A) from both parents (homozygous) or different alleles (Aa) from each parent (heterozygous).
What crosses will only produce heterozygous offspring?
A cross between two individuals that are homozygous for different alleles will only produce heterozygous offspring. This is because each parent can only donate one type of allele, resulting in all offspring being heterozygous for that particular gene.
What is an allele that produce a trait in the heterozygous condition is?
homozygous
What is the probability of offspring for 2 heterozygous dogs?
The probability of offspring for two heterozygous dogs (Aa x Aa) is 25% homozygous dominant (AA), 50% heterozygous (Aa), and 25% homozygous recessive (aa) based on Mendelian genetics principles.
What term defines alleles that are different?
Heterozygous
Is the BB genotype heterozygous or homozygous?
Heterozygous
