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.)
