Cystic fibrosis is a devastating illness that affects the lungs, pancreas, and intestines.In 1989, researchers discovered that t
he disease is caused by a mutation in a gene that produces a proteinthat channels chloride across cellular membranes. People with two copies (or alleles) of the mutated genehave a buildup of mucus in the airways, intestines, and other organs due to nonfunctioning or absent channelproteins. Suggest two ways you could intervene to treat the disease by targeting the DNA molecule and justifywhy each approach could be effective.Student answers will vary, but answers should
There is no cure for cystic fibrosis, but treatment can ease symptoms and reduce complications.
Explanation:
1). For those with cystic fibrosis who have certain gene mutations, doctors may recommend a newer medication called ivacaftor. This medication may improve lung function and weight, increases the activity of Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)protein and reduce the amount of salt in sweat. It has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for people with cystic fibrosis who are age 6 and older. The dose depends on your weight and age.
2). For people with a certain gene mutation who are age 12 and older, another drug is available that combines ivacaftor with a medication called lumacaftor. This drug is called orkambi.
The use of Orkambi may improve lung function and reduce the risk of exacerbations.
The populations of many species increase and decrease in a similar pattern as the alligator.
Explanation:
Since alligators in Florida are a keystone species, other species rely on it as well to keep everything in balance. Keystone species maintain structure, stability, and diversity in an ecosystem.
Water vapor is water in a gaseous state. Transformation of water into gaseous state
(water vapor) is called evaporation. Transformation of the water vapor into dew
which Michael observed in the early morning is called condensation.

The cell is not capable to complete reaction related to ATP production and electron transport.
This is because the electron transport chain and ATP production are combined with the association of protein in the inner membrane of mitochondrion DNA.
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell. In all eukaryotes that don't rely upon photosynthesis, the mitochondria are the primary wellspring of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the vitality rich intensify that drives central cell capacities.
These capacities incorporate power age (for instance, in muscle compression and cell division), the biosynthesis, collapsing and debasement of proteins, and the generation and control of membrane possibilities.
