Passage Summary: In reproduction, both parents contribute equally to the nucleus, but the mother provides all the genetic material found in the rest of the cell, including a specific type called GM62.

Reasoning: Sexual reproduction involves male and female gametes; nuclear DNA is shared equally, but cytoplasmic DNA, including GM62, is provided exclusively by the female.

Analysis: Since we are treating these premises as absolute facts, we must find a deduction that follows logically. If GM62 is found only in the cytoplasm, and the cytoplasm is only inherited from the female gamete, it must be true that an offspring cannot inherit GM62 from its father. Look for an answer that synthesizes these rules to describe the inheritance pattern of GM62.
