Answer:

CF is caused by a mutation in the gene cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The most common mutation, ΔF508, is a deletion (Δ signifying deletion) of three nucleotides that results in a loss of the amino acid phenylalanine (F) at the 508th position on the protein.

Suppose that species A evolves and species B evolves in response to the changes in Species A. Species A then changes in response

Leviafan [203]

The process by which two species evolve as a response to changes in one another over time is called, "coevolution" thus the correct answer is that it is an example of COEVOLUTION

Which alternative hypothesis is made far less likely by having three R and K lines, rather than one of each?

Alenkinab [10]

Both the populations of Drosophila seem to have the same gene for foraging behavior

Therefore, the alternative hypothesis which is made far less likely by having three R and K lines, rather than one of each is:

The difference between the R and K lines is the result of environmental differences in the food availability of their habitats.
