Jeff is said to be a carrier of the gene.

When a cell is in a dynamic equilibrium with its environment, this means that the salt/water concentration inside the cell is equal to the salt/water concentration outside the cell. It is called an equilibrium because no transport of molecules is needed since the concentrations are already the same.
