What is the risk in each pregnancy of having a child with cystic fibrosis?
By "another pregnancy", I assume that the parents have had one child with cystic fibrosis. As cystic fibrosis is recessive and neither parent suffers from it, they must both be carriers. That means the chances of the next baby having CF is 25%, or a one in four chance. Assuming both parents have one CF and one non-CF gene, the combinations work out: non-CF x non-CF (normal) non-CF x CF (carrier) CF x non-CF (carrier) CF x CF (cystic fibrosis sufferer) Therefore their chances of having a: normal child = 25% child who is a CF carrier = 50% child who suffers from CF = 25%
What is the chance that any child will have the disease if two parent who are carriers of cystic fibrosis?
Let's do a Punnit Square. T T T TT TT t Tt Tt T is normal, and the little "t" is the recessive gene (which is being carried by one parent). Since one parent is recessive, you can see that there's a 50% chance that the offspring will have the recessive gene as well. However, note that without any straight "tt" result, there is a 0% chance that the offspring can express the Tay Sachs disorder.
What nutrients are mostly deficient in children's diet?
It depends on the diet itself. Normally calium and vitamin D. Not getting enough calcium could result in rickets so it is important for your child to get enough vitamins.
What would a genetic counselor tell parents who had cystic fibrosis or were carries of the cystic fibrosis about the chances of their children having cystic fibrosis?
If both parents are carriers then the child has a 25% chance of having cystic fibrosis. If one parent has CF and the other the other was just a carrier then the child has a 50% chance of having CF. If one parent has CF and the other has two normal genes then there is no chance of the child having CF. If one parent is a carrier and the other has two normal genes then there is no chance of the child having CF. If both parents have CF then there is a 100% chance that the child will also have CF.
Are there any other ways to get cystic fibrosis?
No, it is a hereditary disease meaning it's only in the family and oth parents have to hold the gene for the child to get CF, you have to be born with CF you can't get it like the flu. Say the mother was a carrier of the CF gene but the Dad is not, the child would only be a carrier, but if both parents are then it's likely the child will have CF
A child with bowed legs is likely deficient in vitamin?
d
I have 2 bottles of vitamins and it says dietary supplement on them can they cause weight loss?
Not true. No study has demonstrated that extra vitamins improve weight loss for people not deficient in the vitamin.
Do you need light to live?
you will be deficient in certain vitamins that your body produces through contact with light. but, you can get those vitamins from food or vitamin suppliments. so, theoretically no, you don't need light.
A child with bowed legs is likely deficient in what vitamin?
Vitamin D
Are magnesium and B vitamins deficient in the adolescent diet?
Mostly yes. Better to take supplement if you notice deficiency syndrome
What vitamins can you take to help with hyperthyroidism?
Hyperthyroidism can result in the accelerated clearance and usage of vitamins and minerals within the body. Since most vitamins and minerals can be toxic if over-supplementation occurs, it is best to only take those in which you have been confirmed deficient.
How can a child have cystic fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis cannot be prevented. It is an inherited disease, so there is no possible way to prevent something inherited. One parent will be a carrier and so will the other parent, therefore resulting in the child having CF.
