Answer the following questions for Cystic Fibrosis (250 words per question)
1) What is the genetic basis of the disease?
2) What is the molecular basis of the disease? (what is abnormal at the cellular, biochemical, or molecular level?)
Homework Answers
Question 1:
1. Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutation on general encoding of CFTR( Cystic fibrosis trans membrane conductance Regulator) an anion channel expressed through epithelial cells throughout the body.
QUESTION 2:
2. Autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutation of CFTR.
Infection and inflammatory process causes blocked duct of mucus membranes, alter the mucosal layer it affected the ion transfer, CFTR and catches the DNA-CFTR.
Specially affects the internal organ of epithelial cells.
1. Abnormal CFTR protein
2.increase seat chloride concentration
3. Elevated ESR level.
4. Thicken mucus membrane
5. Abnormal protein contents

Cystic fibrosis is progressive genetic disease causing thick sticky secretions instead of thin slippery secretions, this phenotype is particularly harmful to the lungs and digestive system. This disease is most prevalent in caucasians of Northern European descent.

Use the following info to answer questions 12-13: Cystic Fibrosis is a disorder passed on genetically. Since Sue and Sam are both carriers of this disorder, it means that each of their children has a 25% probability of contracting the disease. 12. Complete both parts showing all work by hand - no statsrunch A) Sue and Sam have 5 children. Find the probability exactly one of their children has Cystic Fibrosis. (Round to at least two decimal places.) B) Sue...

Q3 Question 3 1 Point In a Hardy-Weinberg situation, suppose that cystic fibrosis (a rare genetic disorder caused by having two recessive alleles) occurs in approximately 1 out of 1600 births in Canada. What is the estimated proportion of the population that would be carriers for the disorder? Q4 Question 4 2 Points For some genetically linked disorders, the survival of the heterozygous individual may be less than that of a homozygous dominant individual (while homozygous recessive individuals still have...

3. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder (cc) and is one of the most common life-shortening genetic diseases. In the United States, 1 in 4,000 children are born with CF. Symptoms of cystic fibrous include the production of salty sweat and thickened mucus in the lining of the lungs and air passages. The thickened mucus obstructs airways and promotes the growth of disease-causing bacteria in the lungs. Most individuals with cystic fibrous die in their 20s and 30s...

Use the following information to answer the next question. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders that decreases life expectancy in the Caucasian population. Population studies estimate that 1 in 2500 Caucasian newborns are affected with CF. The disease is highly variable, though most commonly, an individual with CF develops a chronic cough with mucous buildup in the respiratory tract, obstruction in the intestinal tact, and/or hyposecretion of pancreatic enzymes. - based on Cutting, 1997...
