Answer:

Crystic fibrosis is an <u>autosomal</u> recessive disorder/disease. It is the resultant of a mutated copy in a gene. Both copies must have a mutation present in the CFTR gene to have crystic fibrosis. If only one copy is mutated, they are carriers and do not have cf or crystic fibrosis themselves.

I think the use of ibuprofen should be questioned with the concurrent use of hydrocortisone, a 28 corticosteroid. The use of medication together increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Ibuprofen and sertraline azithromycin, or ipratropium will not cause adverse effects.

What is a reducing sugar?

icang [17]

Reducing sugar is any sugar (all monosaccharides, some disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides) that is capable of acting as a reducing agent because it contains free aldehyde group or free ketone group.

Aldehyde group or alkanal is an organic compound containing formyl group. The formyl group is a functional group consisting of a carbonyl center bonded to hydrogen and an R group. This group can be readily reduced to primary alcohol with the help of catalyctic hydrogenation either applied directly or by transfer hydrogenation.

Ketone group unlike aldehyde group does not have a hydrogen atome bonded to the carbonyl group but it can still be hydrogenated.
