Question

explain effects of mutations quick check
what are the effects of cystic fibrosis? (1 point)
○ absence of pigment
○ respiratory and digestive issues
○ circulatory and cardiovascular diseases
○ skin disorders

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that affects the production of mucus, sweat, and digestive juices. The thick, sticky mucus it causes clogs the lungs (leading to respiratory issues) and also affects the pancreas and digestive system (leading to digestive issues). "Absence of pigment" is related to albinism, "circulatory and cardiovascular diseases" are not typical effects of cystic fibrosis, and "skin disorders" are not the main effects of cystic fibrosis. So the correct option is the one about respiratory and digestive issues.

Answer:

B. respiratory and digestive issues (assuming the second option is labeled B; if the original options have different labels, adjust accordingly based on the actual numbering, but the content is "respiratory and digestive issues")
