Cystic fibrosis is genetic disease caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. The consequence of this is production of an abnormal transmembrane protein that is responsible for producing sweat, mucus, and digestive fluids.
Explain in depth the correlation between the defective gene and the abnormal protein that is produced. Be sure to mention the process involved in protein production, whether or not those process(s) have properly occurred, and their end products.
Provide details in your explanation and support your answer with facts from your textbook, research, and articles from scholarly journals.

Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disorder caused by CFTR gene mutations. As a result, an aberrant transmembrane protein is produced, which is responsible for the formation of perspiration, mucus, and digestive secretions.
Explain in detail the relationship between the faulty gene and the aberrant protein generated. Make sure to include the process(es) involved in protein production, whether or not those processes(es) occurred appropriately, and the end products.
Give specifics in your explanation and back up your answer with facts from your textbook, research, and scientific journal articles.
