What is the genotype of two normal parents who have a child with cystic fibrosis?

The genotype would have to be homozygous recessive if the child was completely effected by the disease. The "normal" paretns would have to have heterozygous recessive genotypes. This makes sense since the allele that causes sickle cell shows incomplete dominance when present with a normal allele in a pair. The "normal" parents actually would have a mixture of sickle cell shaped red blood cells combined with normal shaped ones. The carrier parents does not display symptoms of the disease since the regular red blood cells alone can fill the body's need for oxygen under normal circumstances. The only time the cArrier would notice would be under times of extreme oxygen demand, such as a sprint.

Can oxygen tanks prevent pulmonary fibrosis death?

Oxygen tanks can help manage symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis by providing extra oxygen to the lungs, but they do not prevent mortality from the disease. Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive condition, and while oxygen therapy can improve quality of life and alleviate symptoms, it does not cure the underlying disease. Treatment strategies for pulmonary fibrosis focus on addressing the underlying cause, managing symptoms, and improving quality of life.


What is an example of a hormone that isn't a protein?

There are many, many examples. The following are completely arbitrary: For instance, the most abundant protein in the blood is albumin, which is also the chief protein of egg whites. Another example is titin, the largest naturally occurring protein currently known. Hemoglobin is a major protein studied in biochemistry. It is involved in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a protein channel that is defective in the disease cystic fibrosis.
