Question

Is cystic fibrosis autosomal or sex-linked?

Answer 1

Answer:

Crystic fibrosis is an autosomal 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.
