Mutations in the CFTR gene cause cystic fibrosis (CF). The non-mutated allele of the gene can
be obtained and then introduced into the lung cells of a person with CF using liposomes as a
vector. This treatment gives only short-term relief from the symptoms of CF.
Which of the following statements would be a correct explanation of this treatment?
1. Genes are unstable and break down over time in the cell.
2. Lung cells are constantly being replaced and new cells will have the faulty allele.
3. The non-mutated allele is recessive.

When in solution, a molecule that moves slowly across an artificial membrane moves rapidly across a plasma membrane. this molecule rapidly enters the cell regardless of whether its concentration is higher inside or outside the cell. using this information, which transport mechanism is most likely to be responsible for the movement of the molecule across a plasma membrane? view available hint(s)when in solution, a molecule that moves slowly across an artificial membrane moves rapidly across a plasma membrane. this molecule rapidly enters the cell regardless of whether its concentration is higher inside or outside the cell. using this information, which transport mechanism is most likely to be responsible for the movement of the molecule across a plasma membrane? active transportexocytosis
