The gene that is mutated in cases of cystic fibrosis encodes an ion transporter protein normally expressed in the respiratory and digestive tracts along with other locations. Individuals homozygous for the most common mutation in this gene (ΔF508) died at very early ages prior to the advent of advanced medical intervention. Despite this, the mutation exists at relatively high frequency in populations of European descent. One potential explanation is that heterozygotes for such mutations may be relatively immune to the lethal effects of diseases such as typhoid fever. Which statement below is most accurate?

In Himalayan rabbits, the ears, feet, and muzzle are pigmented while the rest of the body is white. This is because they express an enzyme variant that is ineffective at body temperature but functions at the lower temperatures experienced by cells of the extremities. This is an example of:
