I don’t see the options you’re choosing from — could you paste them or upload the image?
General rule to pick the right one:
- Only gametes (sperm or egg, i.e. haploid germ cells produced by meiosis) transmit genetic material into the next generation.
- Germ-line cells or germ-line mutations (in cells that make gametes) will be inherited; somatic cells or somatic mutations will not.
- A zygote is not a gamete but is the result of two gametes fusing and becomes the next organism.
So pick whichever answer is a gamete (sperm or egg) or a germ-line cell. If you post the choices I’ll pick the correct one.
