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.

Different types of dominance
kiruha [24]

Complete dominance is when the dominant trait completely masks the recessive. incomplete dominance is when the dominant allele doesn’t completely mask the recessive allele, sometimes resulting in blending. Co-dominance occurs when both alleles are expressed at the same time.
