The disease cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by a mutation to the CFTR gene which affects the respiratory, endocrine, reproductive

, and digestive systems. The most common cystic fibrosis allele is missing three bases compared to the normal allele, resulting in the loss of one amino acid in the CFTR protein. What kind of mutation caused the cystic fibrosis allele?

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.

Artemon [7]

Answer:

The mechanism is natural selection.

Explanation:

Natural selection is the mechanism that these air-breathing fishes have gone through to survive. This mechanism allows species to survive and reproduce due to differences in the phenotypes of every individual in the specie, throughout the time the heritable traits that every individual inherits changes according to the environment and the characteristics of its ancestors.

In most animals, the ______ state of the life cycle is much larger than the ______ state.
frozen [14]

In most animals, the <u>diploid</u> state of the life cycle is much larger than the <u>haploid</u> state.

The multicellular diploid stage is the most evident life stage in a diploid-dominant life cycle, and the only haploid cells are the gametes. Most animals, including humans, have this kind of life cycle. It is much larger than the haploid life cycle because of the complexity due to diploid stages.

The multicellular (or occasionally unicellular) haploid stage is the most visible life stage and is frequently multicellular in a haploid-dominant life cycle. The only diploid cell in this kind of life cycle is the single-celled zygote. This kind of life cycle is found in some algae and fungi.

Meiosis, which produces haploid cells from diploid ones in all sexually reproducing species, and fertilisation are two examples of fundamental life cycle characteristics that all sexually reproducing species share (the fusion of haploid gametes to form a diploid cell called the zygote).
