Answer:

here is the explanation with examples

Explanation:

A carrier is an individual who carries and is capable of passing on a genetic mutation associated with a disease and may or may not display disease symptoms. Carriers are associated with diseases inherited as recessive traits.

if you are looking for an easier definition, you can also write:

A carrier is an organism that itself does not have any symptoms of a disease, but the pathogen lives in its body and is passed on to others. ... A carrier may or may not be needed by the pathogen to complete its life cycle. Pathogen inhabits a vector usually for a short period of time.
