The mutations found in the CF gene that result in cystic fibrosis are recessive because.. (Justify your answer) a) CF is fatal and if the alleles that caused CF were dominant it would not be inherited b) The CF mutations that occur result in no protein being produced and this is the only possible way for the mutations to be recessive c) Normal or near normal cellular function can occur from the protein produced by the normal allele in a carrier d) CF mutations only result in a protein that has normal function if there is also a normal CF protein in the cell

d) CF mutations only result in a protein that has normal function if there is also a normal CF protein in the cell
The mutations found in the CF gene that result in cystic fibrosis are recessive because Normal or near normal cellular function can occur from the protein produced by the normal allele in a carrier. (Option c)
