Question at position 7 The mutant alleles of the CF gene that result in cystic fibrosis are recessive to normal alleles becausethe CF mutations that cause cystic fibrosis always result in no protein being produced.CF mutations result in a protein that has normal function only if normal CFTR protein also exists in the cell.dominant alleles that cause a fatal disorder, such as cystic fibrosis, cannot be inherited.the protein produced by the normal allele in heterozygotes is sufficient for normal cellular function.Clear my selection

A man who is a dwarf with achondroplasia and normal vision marries a color-blind woman of normal height. The man's father was average height, and both the woman's parents were of average height. A) Dwarfism caused by achondroplasia is autosomal dominant, which means the gene is carried on a non-sex chromosome . B) Red-green color blindness is X-linked recessive, which means that in female offspring, [ Select ] the gene is carried on the Y chromosome the gene must have both recessive alleles to be expressed in the phenotype the gene is carried on a non-sex chromosome the recessive allele is actually dominant .
