What else can I help you with?
A couple who are both carriers of the gene for cystic fibrosis have two children who have cystic fibrosis What is the probability that their next child will be phenotypically normal?
If both parents are carriers on cystic fibrosis, just because two children may have the disease it doesn't mean that say,a further 3 children in future will be "normal". Inheriting genes is like a lottery. I can say though that because cystic fibrosis is recessive, every offspring born under carriers will always have a 75% chance of being phenotypically normal.
Is cystic fibrosis a viral disease?
No. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.
What types of disease is cystic fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease. A+ neuromuscular disease
Is it possible for a mother to have two kids with different father be born with cystic fibrosis?
Depends. If your mother has cystic fibrosis and your father is a carrier, there is a 50% chance that any of their children will have cystic fibrosis. If the father is not a carrier, no children will have cystic fibrosis, but they will all be carriers.
Is this true Cystic fibrosis is a viral disease?
No. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.
What diseases cause fibrosis in the body?
Cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation in a gene most common to Caucasian children in the USA. It is a hereditary disease and both parents must carry the disease in order for it to be passed down.
Is cystic fibrosis infectious or nonifectious?
Cystic fibrosis is not an infectious disease, it is a genetic disease.
Is cystic fibrosis an autosomal disease?
Yes, cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease.
What is a punnett square for cystic fibrosis?
A Punnett square for cystic fibrosis would involve crossing two parents who are carriers of the recessive allele for the disease (denoted as "cf"). The square would show the probability of having a child with cystic fibrosis (25%), a carrier (50%), or unaffected by the disease (25%). Each parent would have a genotype of "Cf" (carrier) for the Punnett square.
Is cystic fibrosis caused by a virus?
No. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.
What type of disease is cystic fibrosis?
Neuromuscular disease
