PrepTest C2, Section 3, Question 13
Sexual reproduction is achieved when the gamete of a male organism unites with the gamete of a female organism to form a new and genetically unique cell. Each of the two gametes contributes equally to the genetic material found in the new cell's nucleus. However, the genetic material found in the new cell's cytoplasm (the part of a cell outside the nucleus) is contributed exclusively by the female's gamete. A certain type of genetic material, referred to as GM62, is found only in cytoplasm.

Which one of the following is a conclusion that can logically be drawn from the passage above?
All female organisms contribute GM62 to their offspring.
Only female organisms can contribute GM62 to their offspring.
Genetic material is evenly divided between the nucleus and the cytoplasm of a new cell.
The role of the male gamete in sexual reproduction is less important than the role of the female gamete.
It is likely that other types of genetic material that are contributed exclusively by the male gamete will be identified.
