Can a baby be born with a CF gene if neither parent has the gene?
No, a baby cannot be born with a CF gene if neither parent has the gene. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, meaning both parents must be carriers of the mutated CF gene in order to have a child with the condition.
If a specific kind of protein is not continually used by a cell the gene for that protein is?
the gene is never expressed. ^^^^ this guy is a frickin idiot. and this would more of be in the cells/ biology section. What happens is a repressor binds to the operator and turns off the gene so the protein doesn't get made. and when its needed the repressor detaches and the gene is turned back on. ( this all happens on a strand of DNA )
What happens to the repressor protein when it's not functioning?
When the repressor protein in not functioning then the gene that that protein was blocking will be "turned on". BTW its not right to cheat, even on study guides ;)
Are all of organism's genes turned on at the same time?
No, not all of an organism's genes are turned on at the same time. Gene expression is tightly regulated in response to different environmental cues, developmental stages, and cellular needs. This regulation allows for specific genes to be turned on or off as needed for the organism's survival and functioning.

Can you explain the difference between constitutive and conditional expression of a gene?
The constitutive expression of a gene means that the gene is always turned on and producing its protein, regardless of the cell's environment. On the other hand, conditional expression means that the gene is only turned on in specific conditions or in response to certain signals.
What does it mean for a gene to be turned off or not expressed?
When a gene is turned off or not expressed, it means that the DNA sequence within that gene is not being transcribed into mRNA and translated into protein. This can happen through a variety of mechanisms that regulate gene expression, such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and transcription factor binding.
How is a non-constituative gene turned off?
repressor proteins block the gene physically and prevent transcription from occurring
