What specific historical circumstances have allowed the CF- causing allele to remain in the population pool?...

What specific historical circumstances have allowed the CF- causing allele to remain in the population pool?

Your response should not exceed 100-words. Your response should include the following:

Identity of the normal or wild-type allele. CX
The polymorphism that causes CF
The genetic sequence mutation that causes CF.
the type of mutation responsible for the CF. For example, is it small-scale or large-scale, point, insertion, etc.

Identify the environmental pressure that increased the reproductive success of CF-carriers.

2. A dominant allele H reduces the number of body bristles that Drosophila flies have, giving rise to a “hairless” phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. An independently assorting dominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single dose of S suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoring the "hairy" phenotype. However, S also is lethal in the homozygous (S/S) condition. What ratio of hairy to hairless flies...
