Patients with a genetic condition known as cystic fibrosis struggle with symptoms such as lung and digestive problems. At the ce

llular level, the cells of patients with the disease do not transport water or other materials out of the cell efficiently. Therefore, patients’ cells have a build up of water and other substances inside the cell. Which of the following best describes how cystic fibrosis impacts cells?

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.

If a biologist wanted to analyze the evolutionary relationship in a gene that is found in both eukaryotes and bacteria, which of
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

A) histone coding genes

Explanation:

Histones are the proteins involved in the packing of DNA in eukaryotes. They are positively charged proteins and are not found in bacteria. To analyze the evolutionary relationship in a gene between eukaryotes and bacteria, one must choose the gene present in both of them. The tRNA, rRNA and hexokinase encoding genes are common to both bacteria and eukaryotes. Therefore, one of these genes may be chosen for the study. However, histone encoding genes are not present in the genomes of bacteria. Therefore, the study of the histone encoding gene would not be useful for the mentioned purpose.
