For a baby to be born with Cystic Fibrosis, both parents must be carriers of the faulty CF gene. Where both parents carry the faulty gene, each child has a one in four chance of having CF, a two in four chance of being a carrier and a one in four chance of not having any CF genes.
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease and can only be inherited through genes.
It all depends on your parents alleles. Let's say that the allele for cystic fibrosis is c. If your Mum has the allele Cc it means she is hetrozygous. If you Dad has the same allele he is also hetrozygous. When they had children, the two small c's could come together to make a child with the alleles cc. (This means that the child has cystic fibrosis and has homozygous reccessive alleles.)
When they had children their alleles could also come together to make CC (homozygous dominant- this means that person doesn't carry an allele for cystic firbrosis and will never get it. This means that if that person had children with another person who has the alleles CC, their child wouldn't get it), or it could make a child with Cc alleles. The child with Cc alleles wouldn't get cystic fibrosis because the allele big C (dominant allele) over powers the allele small c (reccessive- the cystic fibrosis allele). Although this person doesn't have cystic fibrosis their children might because they carry the allele for cystic fibrosis, which is c.

Cystic Fibrosis is a hereditary disease caused by one parent having a CF gene and the other parent having a CF gene, so when put together, the baby will most likely have CF
you can only get cystic fibrosis by inheriting it from your parents
You cant prevent it because its genetic
What is cystic fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis is a life threatening disease.
cystic fibrosis (:cystic fibrosis :)cystic fibrosis ^-^
Yes, girls can get cystic fibrosis.
Is a carrier of cystic fibrosis
No. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.
No. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.
To found Cystic Fibrosis, watch Princess and I!!!
cystic fibrosis foundation
No, there is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis.
The term that best describes the inheritance of cystic fibrosis is that it is genetic. Cystic fibrosis is caused by recessive alleles. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.
Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disorder, 2 parents have a CF gene, if their offspring inherits that trait they will have Cystic Fibrosis.
No. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.
