Cystic fibrosis is genetic, meaning it can be passed from parent to child. What type of mutation causes cystic fibrosis? somatic
Tresset [83]

Answer: Germline mutation

A germline mutation is a mutation in the fully developed germ cells (sperm and ovum). These defective mutated cells fuse to form zygote. The zygote rapidly produces all somatic and germline cells in the offsprings which are also mutated. Therefore, mutation is transmitted from parents to offsprings. Cystic fibrosis is a result of germline mutation. This disease is hereditary in nature passes from parents to the offsprings. If a child receives CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) mutated gene from both the parents than the child will be affected by the symptoms of this disease. If the child receives a single copy of CFTR gene from either of the parent than the child will be the carrier of disease.The mutated gene may be present in the germline cells of the parent or on all the body cells.

Now that you have come up with an equation that describes the relationship between amounts of different nucleotide bases in DNA,
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

G=21 %

T= 29 %

A= 29 %

Explanation:

Since C only binds to G, you have the same amount of C and G, so G is 21 %.

100 % minus 42 % ( 21 % C plus 21 % G=) equals 58 %.

So the other 58 % is made of T and A. Since T only binds to A , the half of the extra 58 % is T and the other half is A. Therefore 29 % is T and 29 % is A
