The correct answer is - option C.
Explanation:
CFTR is a short form of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein which is caused by a recessive mutation in this protein. This mutation results in the accumulation of mucus in secretory organs.
As the disease is a recessive disease, for the mutant phenotype to expressed both copies of the allele required to be recessive.
The mother is negative for the CFTR. Hence, she will not transfer the mutant allele to her child So, the child would have a wild-type phenotype even if the father having two copies of recessive allele.
Thus, the correct answer is - option C.
It is also possible to move substances across membranes against their concentration gradient (from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration). ... If the energy of ATP is directly used to pump molecules against their concentration gradient, the transport is called primary active transport.
Hope this helps
