I believe that it is beneficial to be heterozygous for the condition, since a slight mutation of the CFTR protein still occurs, provinding resistance to diseases such as typhoid fever and cholera. This is because the pathogens for the fever cannot enter through the mutated CFTR protein in the intestinal epithelium. This has increased (or rather "not decreased") the rate of carriers, and therefore the faulty recessive allele is "still around"
For decades and decades. So, for a long time.
What is cystic fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis is a life threatening disease.

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.
