A. a person’s parents would have to carry genetic material for cystic fibrosis within their chromosomes which could then be passed down.

B. a person’s parents would have to carry genetic material for cystic fibrosis within their chloroplasts which could then be passed down.

C. a person would have to have been exposed to environmental influences such as living next to a nuclear power plant

D. genetic disorders can be transmitted in so many ways that it is impossible to tell how a person acquired the disease.
