Does Cystic Fibrosis affect kids?
yes, everyone who has cystic fibrosis has had it from birth therefore they have it when they are children.
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.
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.)
How do you start a topic sentence if its about Cystic fibrosis?
What is cystic fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis is a life threatening disease.
What is the probability of a child having cystic fibrosis if one of her parents was homozygous dominant and the other was a carrier for cystic fibrosis?
Assuming that each parent is a carrier for cystic fibrosis (has the genotype Ff), the probability that their second child will develop cystic fibrosis is one fourth. The probability doesn't change with the number of children they have. For each pregnancy, the chance that the child will have cystic fibrosis (have the genotype ff) is exactly the same.
What is the most common fatal genetic disease in the United states?

A husband and wife have a son with cystic fibrosis Their second child a daughter does not Prepare a pedigree for this family?
To have cystic fibrosis both parents have to be a carrier. Each parent passes on one of their genes to their children; they each have one healthy and one cystic fibrosis gene. The child with cystic fibrosis receives a cystic fibrosis gene from each parent. The other child has at least one healthy gene if she does not have cystic fibrosis, though she could be a carrier. hope it would help
An individual heterozygous for cystic fibrosis?
Is a carrier of cystic fibrosis
Do girls have cystic fibrosis?
Yes, girls can get cystic fibrosis.
What does cystic fibrosis have to do with heredity?
cystic fibrosis is hereditary but your children will only have a chance at having it if there are at least four children its a one in four kinda thing but they will need to get tested for being a carrier of the cf gene
