Natalka [10]

<u>Answer</u>:  Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes thick mucus secretions.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • <em>Cystic fibrosis</em> is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in a gene that makes a protein called CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator).
  • The CFTR protein normally functions as a channel for transport of chloride ions in cells responsible for mucus production.
  • A person suffering from cystic fibrosis produces abnormal CFTR protein or no CFTR protein at all.
  • This is the  reason that thick, sticky mucus is produced instead of the thin, watery kind.

It is different from<u> technological innovation because the latter requires the synthesis of products that are not in existence already or improvement on a product that has been created before</u>.

Discovery is also different from advancement in technology. <u>The latter refers to the process of inventing, innovating, and spreading technological processes in society.</u>

Discoveries are usually natural and are not in any way an invention. However, advancement in technology can aid discoveries.
