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.

During prophase, which occurs after G2 interphase, the cell prepares to divide by tightly condensing its chromosomes and initiates mitotic spindle formation. The chromatin fibers condenses into discrete chromosomes. The nucleolus also disappears during early prophase.

Chromosomes move to the middle of the spindle during what phase
egoroff_w [7]
During mitosis, chromosomes move to the middle of the spindle during metaphase. Mitosis is a type of cell division in which the parent cell divides into two daughter cells with each daughter cell receiving the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Mitosis has the following phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
