Answer:

Yes, it does affect mitosis.

Step-by-step explanation:

CF is caused by a mutation in the gene that produces cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator proteins. This defective CFTR protein will change ion influx and efflux across the body's cell membranes. This, in turn, will change the environment of the cells.

hope this helps :)
