C = dominant
c = recessive (cystic fibrosis)
CC, cc = homozygous (homo = same)
Cc = heterozygous (hetero = different)

Recessive traits are expressed only when two recessive alleles are present

If you get CC, you will not have cystic fibrosis. (<span>c </span>is the cystic fibrosis allele)
This person would be homozygous dominant and would not pass on the disease because they do not have any cystic fibrosis alleles.

If you get<span> Cc</span> you will not have cystic fibrosis b/c the<span> C</span> is dominant and overrides the cystic fibrosis allele c.
This person would be heterozygous and, though they do not have the disease, they would still have a chance of passing on the disease because they carry the cystic fibrosis allele.

If you get cc you will have cystic fibrosis b/c c is the cystic fibrosis allele and it is not being overridden by a dominant allele.
This person would be homozygous recessive.

Nikolay [14]
In diseases, similar patterns of mutations in harmless genes may possibly be a cause or an effect of the disease. To investigate if it is a cause, it is worth looking into the proteins synthesized by the gene and whether it’s structure or functionality is affected by the pattern observed. It is also worth looking into the downstream effects possibly caused by the pattern in the gene. The gene may encode a non coding region which could affect post transcriptional splicing for example.
