Answer:

Endoplasmic reticulum is the defective organelle in most CF.

Explanation:

This is because of  mutation(deletion) in the proteins of these organelle. The CFTR  protein -a transmembrane regulator get stucked inside the E.R, thus  the  CFTR chloride protein channel is blocked. Therefore the outflow of Cl and water  out of the cell  is obstructed.

Consequently, the mucus from blocked fluid flow, clogs the lungs, the fallopian tube, sweat duct, and other places.

Alika [10]
A long high sea wave caused by an earthquake, submarine landslide, or other disturbance. Undersea earthquakes, which typically occur at boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates, cause the water above to be moved up or down. Tsunami waves are formed as the displaced water, which acts under the influence of gravity, attempts to find a stable position again.
