Answer

  1. Cytoplasm

Explanation:

In most of the higher plants and animals including humans, the male gamete is small and motile, whereas, female gamete is large and immotile.

The female gamete contributes both the genetic material as well as cytoplasm during zygote formation as compared to this the male gamete does not contribute cytoplasm but provides only half the genetic complement.

Hence, major cell organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts show cytoplasmic or maternal inheritance pattern.
