What else can I help you with?
Name two genetic disorders?
Two genetic disorders are Turner's syndrome and cystic fibrosis.
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.
Identify two examples of inherited conditions and disease?

What are two genetic diseases besides Down syndrome?
Two genetic diseases besides Down syndrome are cystic fibrosis, which affects the lungs and digestive system, and Huntington's disease, which is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects motor function and cognitive abilities.
What would be the genotype of a person with cystic fibrosis?
The genotype of a person with CF is cc. The genotype of a carrier of a CF mutation is Cc.
Does cystic fibrosis have extra chromosomes?
No, cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, not by the presence of extra chromosomes. Individuals with cystic fibrosis inherit two faulty copies of the CFTR gene, one from each parent, which leads to the production of a defective CFTR protein that affects the movement of salt and water in and out of cells.
Do carriers have to have cystic fibrosis?
Carriers of cystic fibrosis do not have the disease themselves, as they possess one normal copy and one mutated copy of the CFTR gene. However, they can pass the mutated gene to their children. For a child to develop cystic fibrosis, they must inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent. Therefore, while carriers do not have cystic fibrosis, they play a crucial role in its inheritance.
What is the ratio of people with Cystic Fibrosis?
According to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust's website:Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is one of the UK's most common life-threatening inherited diseases.Cystic Fibrosis affects over 9,000 people in the UK.Over two million people in the UK carry the faulty gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis - around 1 in 25 of the population.If two carriers have a child, the baby has a 1 in 4 chance of having Cystic Fibrosis.Cystic Fibrosis affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, by clogging them with thick sticky mucus. This makes it hard to breathe and digest food.Each week, five babies are born with Cystic Fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis autosomal dominant?
hey I'm not positive but I believe that Cystic Fibrosis is autosomal. My reasonning for this is that there seems to be an equal number of females that have cystic fibrosis as there are males. I AM NOT POSITIVE.
Why do only white people get cystic fibrosis?
Most white Europeans do not get cystic fibrosis. There is, however, a greater occurence of the recessive gene responsible for cystic fibrosis in Caucasians and Ashkanezi Jews than other races.
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.
What is the genotype of woman with cystic fibrosis?
A woman with cystic fibrosis has a genotype that includes two copies of the mutated CFTR gene, which is located on chromosome 7. This means she is homozygous for the CFTR mutation, typically represented as "ff" where "f" indicates the presence of the cystic fibrosis allele. In cases where she has one normal CFTR allele and one mutated allele, she would be considered a carrier but would not exhibit symptoms of the disease. However, those with cystic fibrosis must have two copies of the mutated gene.
