people who are heterozygous for cystic fibrosis are not directly affected by the disease (although there is some evidence they have more chance of getting Asama) however they do still carry the gene for CF (they are carriers) this means if they have kids with another carrier they have a 25% chance of having a CF positive child (out of four one non effected, two carriers, and one diseased)
What else can I help you with?
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 sequence of amino acid in cystic fibrosis?
The sequence of amino acids in cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation in the CFTR gene, which leads to the production of a faulty cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein. This mutated protein results in abnormal function, leading to the characteristic symptoms of cystic fibrosis such as thick mucus production.
Name two genetic disorders?
Two genetic disorders are Turner's syndrome and cystic fibrosis.
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.
What kind of pathogen causes Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis is caused by a genetic mutation in the CFTR gene. This mutation leads to the production of thick, sticky mucus in the lungs and other organs. It is not caused by a specific pathogen, but individuals with Cystic Fibrosis are more susceptible to respiratory infections.
An individual heterozygous for cystic fibrosis?
Is a carrier of cystic fibrosis
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.
When C equals normal allele and c equals allele for cystic fibrosis Set up and complete a Punnett Square for cystic fibrosis for a couple that both have heterozygous for cystic fibrosis with no sympt?
Sure! When both parents are heterozygous carriers (Cc) for cystic fibrosis, the Punnett Square would result in a 25% chance of having a child with cystic fibrosis (cc), a 50% chance of having a child who is a carrier (Cc), and a 25% chance of having a child who is not a carrier and does not have the disease (CC).

What term describes the inheritence cystic fibrosis?
The term that best describes the inheritance of cystic fibrosis is that it is genetic. Cystic fibrosis is caused by recessive alleles. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.
