True False Cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation that is the dominant allele of a gene?
False.
Does cystic fibrosis have extra chromosomes?
No cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutated CFTR gene.
What effect does a mutation have on DNA and proteins?
It will change the order of bases:) could cause diseases such as; Cystic Fibrosis
Which inherited disease is caused by faulty ion channels?
Cystic fibrosis is one.
How does cystic fibrosis effect the cell membrane?
Cystic fibrosis is caused by defective CFTR protein. CFTR is an ion channel that transports chloride ions across epithelial cell membranes.
Is cystic fibrosis chromosomal abnormality?
Yes, it is caused by a mutation in the gene for the protein CFTR.
What disease is called by a genetic mutation?
cystic fibrosis
Is cystic fibrosis a mutation?
yes, it is caused by a mutation in the gene cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The most common mutation, which results in a loss of the amino acid phenylalanine
Is cystics fibrosis is caused by a mutation that is the dominant alle of a gene?
No, cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder.
True False Cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation that is the dominant allele of a gene?
False.
Is Cystic Fibrosis a Germline mutation or an enviromental Mutation?
yes
Is cystic fibrosis caused by a virus?
No. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.
Does cystic fibrosis have extra chromosomes?
No cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutated CFTR gene.
Where cystic fibrosis happens?
In the DNA: a mutation on chromosome 7
What term describes the inheritence 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.
What chromosome does cystic fibrosis effect?
The gene on chromosome 7 produces a protein called cystic fibrosis trans-membrane regulator. Mutation in the DNA level of chromosome 7 leads to the absence of this protein which leads to cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a recessive disease.
Is cystic fibrosis caused by a pathogen?
No, cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition. Both parents carry the gene.
