In humans, the protein CFTR regulates the components of sweat, digestive fluids, and mucus. A human can have a normal form of the gene or a mutated form. Which of the following would provide evidence that the mutated form of the CFTR protein is harmful to humans?
A. Individuals who inherit the mutated form of the gene usually develop serious health problems.
B. Most illnesses have symptoms that are associated with sweat, digestive fluids, and mucus.
C.Both the normal form and the mutated form of the CFTR gene can be found in healthy humans.
What is A?

According to Graph 1 (Part II), which of the following statements explains the changes seen in the frequency of a mutation in a group of people over several generations?
The student says the answer is B Why are they incorrect?
B. The mutation immediately spread to the entire population because it is a harmful mutation.
Organisms with harmful mutations are less likely to survive and pass on their traits.
