Is a carrier of cystic fibrosis
Can someone have a baby with Cystic Fibrosis at age fifteen?
Yes. A person can have a baby with cystic fibrosis at any age.
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?
The probability of a child having cystic fibrosis in this scenario is 50%. If one parent is homozygous dominant (no cystic fibrosis allele) and the other is a carrier (heterozygous), there is a 50% chance of passing on the cystic fibrosis allele to their child, resulting in the child having cystic fibrosis.
What can a nurse to do protect herself from someone with cystic fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis is completely genetic -- it's not contagious. People with cystic fibrosis don't pose any risk to their nurses, doctors or anyone else.
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).
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 cystic fibrosis and how do you get?
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder in which certain proteins in the lungs are not functioning properly - you get it from inheriting the genes for the disease from your parents. The malfunctioning proteins result in accumulations of thick, sticky mucus in the lungs which must be coughed up regularly.
What is the most common fatal genetic disease in the United states?
cystic fibrosis (:cystic fibrosis :)cystic fibrosis ^-^
What genetic disorder causes a defective gene that makes proteins necessary to pump chloride in and out of cells?
Cystic Fibrosis
Do girls have cystic fibrosis?
Yes, girls can get cystic fibrosis.
What does heterozygous have to do with cystic fibrosis?
Individuals with cystic fibrosis have a mutation in the CFTR gene. Being heterozygous for the mutant CFTR gene means having one normal and one mutant copy of the gene, resulting in a carrier state. Carriers are typically unaffected by cystic fibrosis but can pass the mutant gene on to their offspring.
Can cystic fibrosis kill the person who has it?
Cystic fibrosis is a inherited disease where ususally by the time of 30-35 the person who has it does die.
