Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder in which a particular gene does not make protein the way that it otherwise normally would. Given that cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder, how would an individual most likely contract this disease?
F A person’s parents would have to carry genetic material for cystic fibrosis within their chromosomes which could then be passed down.
G A person’s parents would have to carry genetic material for cystic fibrosis within their mitochondria which could then be passed down.
H A person would have to have been exposed to environmental influences such as living next to a nuclear power plant.
J Genetic disorders can be inherited in so many ways that it is impossible to tell how a person acquired the disease.
