What is the probability of a child having cystic fibrosis if one of her parents was homozygous dominant and the other was a carrier for cystic fibrosis?
Assuming that each parent is a carrier for cystic fibrosis (has the genotype Ff), the probability that their second child will develop cystic fibrosis is one fourth. The probability doesn't change with the number of children they have. For each pregnancy, the chance that the child will have cystic fibrosis (have the genotype ff) is exactly the same.
What is the genotype of an individual that is not affected with cystic fibrosis?
Let's call the gene "C." Capital C means no cystic fibrosis; lower c means cystic fibrosis, since it is a recessive gene. CC is a person who does not have cystic fibrosis and also is not a carrier. Cc indicated a carrier. cc shows a person with cystic fibrosis. In order for a child to have cystic fibrosis, its parents must be: 1. cc and cc (both have cystic fibrosis, so every child will as well.) 2. Cc and Cc (both carriers; 25% chance of having a child with cystic fibrosis) 3. Cc and cc (one parent is a carrier and one has cystic fibrosis; there is a 50% chance that the children will have cystic fibrosis.)
A husband and wife have a son with cystic fibrosis Their second child a daughter does not Prepare a pedigree for this family?
To have cystic fibrosis both parents have to be a carrier. Each parent passes on one of their genes to their children; they each have one healthy and one cystic fibrosis gene. The child with cystic fibrosis receives a cystic fibrosis gene from each parent. The other child has at least one healthy gene if she does not have cystic fibrosis, though she could be a carrier. hope it would help
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.

Is cystic fibrosis common?
Cystic fibrosis is the most common life threatening disease in the UKOne in 25 people have the cystic fibrosis gene in them (but may not have the disease). Most people aren't even aware that they carry the gene. If two people who have the gene reproduce, the odds that they have a child with cystic fibrosis is 1 in 4. The chance that they will have a child who carries the gene but doesn't have the disease is 2 in 4 (half). The chance that they have a child who does not have the disease or carry the gene is 1 in 4.
