What is the abnormal protein in cystic fibrosis called?
The abnormal protein in cystic fibrosis is called cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). This protein functions as a chloride channel in epithelial cells, and mutations in the CFTR gene lead to dysfunctional chloride transport. This results in the thick, sticky mucus characteristic of cystic fibrosis, affecting various organs, particularly the lungs and digestive system.
How does cystic fibrosis affect homeostasis?
Cystic fibrosis happens due to mutations in a gene called CFTR and an abnormal behavior impairs homeostasis inside the cell. Cyst
Why can Cystic fibrosis be inherited even if neither parent has the disease?
Cystic Fibrosis is an example of a disease inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Both parents of a baby who has Cystic Fibrosis have one abnormal recessive gene and one normal dominant gene and are therefore, Cystic Fibrosis carriers. Carriers are said to be heterozygous because they contain one normal copy of the gene and one abnormal copy. A baby who inherits cystic fibrosis has inherited the abnormal gene from both parents and is therefore said to be homozygous recessive.
What is the sequence of amino acid in cystic fibrosis?
The sequence of amino acids in cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation in the CFTR gene, which leads to the production of a faulty cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein. This mutated protein results in abnormal function, leading to the characteristic symptoms of cystic fibrosis such as thick mucus production.
How is Cystic Fibrosis a malfunctioning of Active Transport?
I dont know someone help?
How do you start a topic sentence if its about Cystic fibrosis?
What is cystic fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis is a life threatening disease.
What is cystic fibrosis gene disorder?
The genes on each chromosome control specific functions of the human body. The gene on chromosome 7 produces a protein called cystic fibrosis transmembrane 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. It means that both copies of the gene must be defective. An affected person will have abnormal cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene on each chromosome 7. Therefore both biological parents must have an abnormal gene. One abnormal copy is inherited from each parent. A person with one normal gene and one abnormal gene is called a cystic fibrosis carrier. Cystic fibrosis carriers do not show any symptoms but they may pass the abnormal gene to their children. Therefore the parents can be either cystic fibrosis carriers or affected themselves.

Do girls have cystic fibrosis?
Yes, girls can get cystic fibrosis.

Who found cystic fibrosis?
To found Cystic Fibrosis, watch Princess and I!!!
