QUESTION-1

An individual who is heterozygous for cystic fibrosis-

a carrier.

EXPLANATION

Cystic fibrosis or CF is a hereditary disease.

In CF, the body produced thick mucus that can block the passageway of lungs.

CF can also harshly affect the digestive system and other body organs like the pancreas.

An individual heterozygous for cystic fibrosis is a carrier.

The genotype of a carrier is Ff.

Homozygous recessive individuals will be affected by the CF and the genotype is ff.

Homozygous dominant individuals are normal individuals and they have FF genotype.

GOOD LUCK!!!
