It means you have the genetics for the trait but you do not express the trait. Someone who is a carrier could not have a disease, but have offspring that does have that disease. This is because of alleles, which can be upper or lower case letters, upper being dominant traits and lower being recessive. Many genetic diseases are recessive so if a person has the genotype Rr they will carry the disease but if they have rr they will have the disease. If I were you id research how punette squares work

Alecsey [184]
The different degrees of sleep and wakefulness through which newborns cycle, ranging from deep sleep to great agitation, are called states of arousal. These states are regular sleep, irregular sleep, drowsiness, quiet alertness and crying. About eight to nine hours each of an infant's day is dedicated to regular and irregular sleep. So, most of the time of the infant is spent in these states. These are the states where the brain of an infant is developing the important connections for growth and survival. Crying is the means for infants to communicate their needs. Different type of cries would represent different needs of the infant.
