In Neurospora, the mutant stp exhibits erratic stop-and start growth. When a female of stp strain is crossed with a normal strain acting as a male, all progeny individuals' showed stp mutant phenotype. However, the reciprocal cross resulted in all normal progeny, individuals. These results can be explained on the basis of

A. Uniparental gene contribution

B. Nuclear inheritance with concept of dominance

C. Sex link character

D. stp mutation may be located in chloroplast DNA

Following statements are regarding to the CFTR.
A. cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator allows Cl− ions to flow out of the cell, following their concentration gradient.
B. ATP binding to CFTR’s two nucleotide-binding domains appears to close the Cl− channel, and the hydrolysis of one ATP opens it (the other ATP remains intact).
C. the CFTR channel can open only if its regulatory domain (which is unique among ABC transporters) has been phosphorylated, thus regulating the flow of ions across the membrane.
D. The maintenance of electrical neutrality requires that the Cl− ions transported by the CFTR be accompanied by positively charged ions, mainly Na+. The transported ions are osmotically accompanied by water, thus maintaining the proper level of fluidity in secretions of the airways, intestinal tract, and the ducts of the pancreas, testes, and sweat glands.
