No, cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition. Both parents carry the gene.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of pathogen causes Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis is caused by a genetic mutation in the CFTR gene. This mutation leads to the production of thick, sticky mucus in the lungs and other organs. It is not caused by a specific pathogen, but individuals with Cystic Fibrosis are more susceptible to respiratory infections.
Is cystic fibrosis caused by a virus?
No. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.
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 term describes the inheritance if 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 it monosomy 21?
No. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations found on chromosome 7.
Is cystic fibrosis monosmy or trisomy?
Neither. Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene located on chromosome 7. It is not caused by the absence or addition of a chromosome.
How disorder is inherited cystic fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis, is a recessive disease (meaning that both parents must be carriers of the cystic fibrosis gene, for the offspring to have a chance of being born with it). A child has a 25% chance (1/4) of being born with Cystic Fibrosis.
What disease is called by a genetic mutation?
cystic fibrosis
Do people suffering with cystic fibrosis lack a chromosome or they have an extra one?
Neither. Cystic fibrosis is caused by genetic mutations on chromosome 7.
Does cystic fibrosis have extra chromosomes?
No, cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, not by the presence of extra chromosomes. Individuals with cystic fibrosis inherit two faulty copies of the CFTR gene, one from each parent, which leads to the production of a defective CFTR protein that affects the movement of salt and water in and out of cells.
What is a disease that is caused by a person lacking of an enzyme?
Cystic Fibrosis.
Is cystics fibrosis is caused by a mutation that is the dominant alle of a gene?
No, cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder.
