Answer:
A mutation in Ras protein which will cause hyperactivity will eventually lead to cancer.
Explanation:
Ras protein was first discovered in Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and it is a proto-oncogene product. In normal conditions, it plays an important role in cellular signalling but in case of gain of function/hyperactivity it gets converted into cellular oncogene. In several types of cancers a point mutation has been reported in Ras protein.
Just like G protein, it is also a GTPase switch protein but unlike G protein which is trimeric, it is monomeric. In the plasma membrane, it is attached with the help of lipids like prenyl or palmitoyl groups. During signal transduction pathway when it gets activated, it downstream activates MAPK pathway and causes gene expression but when it gets hyperactivated it causes over expression of genes leading to cancer.

It is a very interesting question - the technology is real and the research on eDNA published in a journal in 2017.
eDNA stands for enviornmental DMA sampling. It allows scientist to test water samples for the presence of the DNA of the invasive fish species. It is more effective than traditional methods of sampling because it does not require trapping or sighting of the invasive species. Water samples can be collected anywhere any time and the DNA results are as accurate and detailed as collected from the invasive species themselves. It provides a complete picture of what invasive species are there.
We'll make the alleles: Cc.
C is a healthy parent, and c is the cystic fibrosis (recessive).
If you make a punnett square and the parents are both Cc (healthy), then you would get CC, Cc, Cc, and cc. That cc is a 25% chance that the offspring will have that, which means there is a 25% chance the child will have cystic fibrosis.
Two healthy parents can have a child with cystic fibrosis if both the parents have the dominant allele and recessive allele, if both the parents have heterozygous alleles.
