Cystic fibrosis is a recessive condition; meaning if a
dominant condition takes over it will not be seen in the offspring. The man
genotype with cystic fibrosis can only be this: cc (when c is equal to the cystic fibrosis and C is equal to not
having one). The woman with no history of cystic fibrosis can possibly have
either of these two genotypes: Cc or CC.
To see their offspring’s possible genotype, we’ll use a
punnett square let’s start with Cc:
C c
c Cc cc
c Cc cc There
is a 50 % chance of the child having cystic fibrosis.
To see their offsprings possible genotype with CC:
C C
c Cc Cc
c Cc Cc There
is no chance that the child will have cystic fibrosis.

Answer:
Too Much Growth Hormone in a Child: Causes and Effects
Growth hormones are important influences on a child’s height and development. While many children are shorter or taller than others due to genetics, some children may have a growth disorder.
Growth disorders affect the speed at which a child develops. Height, weight, and sexual development are just a few features which can be affected. Diseases or problems with the pituitary gland are the leading causes of growth disorders.
The pituitary gland is responsible for producing growth hormones. Too few can lead to poor growth in children, while too many can lead to a condition called gigantism.
