Answer:

A.it pumps hydrogen ions inside the cell

Explanation:

Principally, the main role of electron transport chain is to maintain the electrochemical gradient of hydrogen ions (H+) inside the mitochondrial matrix. This is the last step in aerobic cellular respiration and performs a series of redox reactions. Overall, it allows accumulation of H+ inside the mitchondrial matrix. This increased gradient or accumulation of hydrogen ions (H+) is essential because H+ would accept the electrons producing during the reactions. Without this, the flow of electron will be stopped because of high  gradient, and production of ATP will not happen as well.

Indeed ETC helps in production of ATP but that is not the main function of electron transport chain rather it is a function of mitochondria.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Color blindness is a common hereditary condition which means it usually passes from parents. Red green color blindness is passed on from the mother to the son.

The chromosome number 23 is the sex chromosome also responsible for colorblindness. As it is sex linked the son can receive the recessive allele from the mother.

The mother of the child had a recessive allele which she transferred into her son. As it is sex inherited disease the son is affected by gene carried from mother.
