Solution

The correct option is D 1/ 2
The genes contributed by mother to each of her progeny are ½ (half). An organism inherits one allele for every gene from each of its parents. Thus, an individual receives half of the chromosome from its mother and another half from father.
So, the correct answer is '1/2'
