Use the infоrmаtiоn frоm the following cаse study to аnswer the next several questions A 5 year old boy was rushed to the hospital with difficulty breathing. Upon arriving at the hospital he was diagnosed with a respiratory infection and given intravenous antibiotics to treat the infection. Given that this was his fifth infection in the last year the doctor decided to keep him for monitoring and run some tests. A chest x-ray and bronchoscopy indicated the presence of scar tissue in the lungs and abnormally thick mucus. Following a blood test, the child was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a lung condition resulting in a non-functional CFTR protein. This is due to a mutation in the gene that alters one amino acid in the protein. This leads to a thickened mucus in the lining of the lungs. Describe the path of protein production starting with the DNA gene and ending with the protein being sent to the cell membrane. Make sure to indicate every organelle involved along the way and what role each serves,
