### Understanding Inherited vs Spontaneous CFTR Mutations

Although most cases of cystic fibrosis are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, it is possible for cystic fibrosis to arise spontaneously in some patients. Determine whether each of the scenarios below is most consistent with inherited or spontaneous CFTR mutations.

---

1. **Errors in CFTR were introduced in replication.**
   - [Choose]
     - Spontaneous mutation
     - Inherited mutation

2. **Both parents carry the same mutation.**
   - [Choose]
     - Spontaneous mutation
     - Inherited mutation

3. **Not every cell of the patient has the mutation.**
   - [Choose]
     - Spontaneous mutation
     - Inherited mutation

4. **One parent has two normal copies of CFTR.**
   - [Choose]
     - Spontaneous mutation
     - Inherited mutation

5. **Cousins also have the same CFTR mutation.**
   - [Choose]
     - Spontaneous mutation
     - Inherited mutation
