Answer:

The excessive alcohol consumption of the mother.

Explanation:

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy harms the developing baby, the foetus. This is because alcohol passes from the mother's blood to the baby's blood and this affects the growth of the baby's cell.

This causes severe damage to the cells of the brain and the spinal cord.

FASD - Fetal Alcohol Spectrums Disorder is characterised by growth and developmental problems and it can range from mild to severe.

Example is the baby having small head, narrow eye and behavioural problems later in life.

The disease cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by a mutation to the CFTR gene which affects the respiratory, endocrine, reproductive
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: DF508 mutation. A Genetic, Hereditary, Autosomal and Recessive Mutation.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive autosomal lethal disease, it is most common on Caucasoid populations. Its diagnosis is suggested by the clinical features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, persistent pulmonary colonization (particularly with mucoid Pseudomonas strains), meconium ileus, pancreatic insufficiency with or familiarity history of the disease. The FC gene is large, with about 250 Kb of genomic DNA, 27 exons representing about 5% of genomic DNA; encodes a 6.5 kb transcribed mRNA. This mRNA is transcribed into a protein of 1480 amino acid called CFTR (Regulator Transmembrane Conductance Cystic Fibrosis). When a three-base pair deletion, adenosine-thymine-thymine (ATT) identified in the CFTR gene, exon 10, it results in the loss of a single amino acid phenylalanine at position 508 of the protein. This mutation is called DF508; “D” stands for deletion and “F” for phenylalanine amino acid.
