CYSTIC FIBROSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
CF is associated with which process?
A
DNA duplication
B
Chromosomal synthesis
C
Mitosis
D
Meiosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the gene that produces the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. In people with CF, mutations in the CFTR gene can disrupt the normal production or functioning of the CFTR protein found in the cells of the lungs and other parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Summary. Cell division ends as the cytoplasm divides into two by the process of cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus.
