Children of CF carriers can inherit their copy of the CFTR gene mutation. There is a 25% (1 in 4) probability that a child born to two CF carriers will have the disease.

<h3>What causes cystic fibrosis primarily?</h3>
  • Cystic fibrosis is brought on by a mutation in the CFTR gene (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator).
  • This gene regulates the movement of fluids and salt into and out of your cells.
  • When the CFTR gene isn't functioning properly, your body produces a buildup of sticky mucus.
<h3>Cystic fibrosis usually results in death.</h3>
  • When cystic fibrosis causes a severe illness or the lungs stop functioning properly, it can be fatal.
  • It also has a tendency to get worse over time. However, because to improvements in medicine, patients with cystic fibrosis are now living longer.
  • Approximately half of those who have cystic fibrosis will live past the age of 40 at this time.

Answer:

1.  the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods. In most cases, the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species.

2. GM crops are made through a process known as genetic engineering. Genes of commercial interest are transferred from one organism to another. Two primary methods currently exist for introducing transgenes into plant genomes. The first involves a device called a 'gene gun'.

3. Crops do not damage the environment simply because they are GM. Some farming practices, such as the overuse of herbicides resulting in the excessive eradication of wild plants from farmland have been shown to harm the environment. These problems are similar for non-GM and GM crops.
