Answer:

One pair of chromosomes includes a gene called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. This gene is large and complex — in fact, more than 1,000 different CF-related mutations have been identified.

In most people, the CFTR gene helps regulate the flow of salt and fluid in and out of cells. But if there is a mutation in this gene, chloride, a component of salt, gets stuck inside the cells and a thick, sticky mucus starts to build up inside the body.

Atmospheric nitrogen has to be combined with other elements
Alecsey [184]

Nitrogen in gaseous amount is 78% which is present in atmosphere. It has to be combined with other elements, or fixed, in order to be used by plants. Lightning is one way fixation of atmospheric nitrogen because when lightning occurs, the extreme heat melts the nitrogen molecules bond, allowing nitrogen to combine with oxygen and form nitrogen oxides.

<h3>What is atmosphere?</h3>

An atmosphere is referred to a layers of gases which envelope a planet, and is held in place by the gravity of the planetary body.

By a series of microbial transformations nitrogen is made available to plants, which in turn ultimately sustain all animal life.
