What disorder is when you self diagnose yourself with every disease you hear about?
Plaigerizemeplease
Hypochondriasis - or hyponchondria is considered a health phobia. Typically, people with this disorder are preoccupied with their health and safety and often research diseases they think they have or think that they might have diseases that are being popularized by the media.
However, this disorder is still rather serious, as hypochondriacs tend towards clinical depression, anxiety disorders, and other psychological disturbances. So, I wouldn't necessarily self-diagnose yourself with this disorder too.

Is cysticfibrosis dominant or recessive?
cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder which is reccesively inherited.A good way to remember this is to picture the disease as a disorder located on a dominant allele: every person with the gene would have the disease. Because of the severity of the disease, few of the people who suffered from it would reproduce, and it would be extremely rare. (Remember that there is no cure, and before newer techniques in medicine could prolong their lives, people with the disease only lived till approximately 5 years old).The way it is, people can be carriers of the gene without having the disease, and thus pass it on if both parents are carriers.
