Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which encodes a protein that regulates chloride and water transport in cells. These mutations lead to defective ion transport across cell membranes, resulting in thick, sticky mucus buildup in the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems. This mucus impairs normal organ function and can lead to recurrent infections and inflammation.

WHAT Cellular Basis of Life?
All cells are derived from other cells . When the cells reproduce, the process is known as cell division. This is the cellular basis for the continuity of life from one generation to the next.
What is the medical term meaning liver inflammation and fibrosis?
The medical term for liver inflammation and fibrosis is "hepatitis." This condition can lead to scarring of the liver, known as fibrosis, and if left untreated, can progress to cirrhosis, where the liver becomes severely scarred and may eventually fail.
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 fibrosis cytosis?
Fibrosis is the excessive accumulation of fibrous connective tissue in an organ or tissue, leading to scarring and potential loss of function. Cytosis refers to a cellular process involving the movement or transport of a cell. "Fibrosis cytosis" is not a recognized medical term as it combines fibrosis with a generic term for cell movement.
What is the cellular abnormality that causes cystic fibrosis?
abnormal chloride channels that trap salt inside cells lining the lung passageways.
