Answer:
The correct answer is B make cells produce a functional CFTR protein.
Explanation:
Cystic fibrosis is a disease that is caused due to the mutation in the transmembrane protein known as cystic fibrosis trans membrane conductance regulator or CFTR. Cystic fibrosis trans membrane regulator proteins helps in the formation of thin mucus and due to the mutation in CFTR the mucus becomes thick.The disease cystic fibrosis basically affect the respiratory system.
If gene therapy is used to treat cystic fibrosis then it can replace the mutated CFTR gene with a functional one so that the cell containing CFTR gene can produce functional CFTR protein.
