False. In addition to ribosomal RNA (rRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) also play crucial roles in translation. tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome, while mRNA carries the genetic information that specifies the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
It is always known as a mutation
False. Cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation in the CFTR gene, which is a recessive allele. An individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to develop the condition.
False. A point mutation is a change in a single nucleotide of DNA, leading to a change in the protein encoded by that gene. The failure of a chromosome pair to separate during mitosis is known as nondisjunction, which can lead to chromosomal abnormalities in the daughter cells.
Actually, the chemical that makes up most of a chromosome is DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), not RNA (ribonucleic acid). DNA carries the genetic information necessary for the development, functioning, and reproduction of living organisms, while RNA plays a role in gene expression and protein synthesis.
No. The Y chromosome is much smaller than the X chromosome. There are only about 70 active genes on the Y chromosome and many more deleteriously mutated one. The X chromosome contains many more active genes and only crosses over marginally with the Y chromosome.

True. The sex of offspring is determined by the sex chromosome contributed by the female parent. Females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome.
As of now, the claim about the chromosome 2 fusion site being debunked has not been conclusively proven false.
