    from the mother only

    Explanation:

    Maternal inheritance is exhibited by certain organelles such as chloroplasts and mitochondria. Mitochondria are the cytoplasmic organelles present in the eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria exhibit maternal inheritance in humans which means that the egg cells contribute the mitochondria to the zygote. The male gametes, sperms do not contribute mitochondria to the zygote. Therefore, any mutation in the mitochondrial DNA of the egg cell is transmitted to the progeny but the mitochondrial genome of sperms and any mutations in it are not carried to the progeny.
