@nathan917 please don't give answers . explain the answer to them .

Genetic changes in sperm, zygote and spermatogenic cells of germinal epithelium of testis can be inheritable but genetic change in udder cell is not heritable.

answer is a sperm fertilized with female gamete resulting in zygote (zygote is the initial cell formed when two gamete cells are joined by means of sexual reproduction) hence the altered genes fuse with female gamate resulting in zygote Development of the zygote. A, A sperm enters the ovum. B, The 23 chromosomes from the sperm mingle with the 23 chromosomes from the ovum, restoring the diploid number to 46. C, The fertilized ovum, now called a zygote, is ready for the first mitotic cell division. From McKinney et al., 2000.

Letter A; because that is where the genes from the male come from and those genes are inherited.

A the sperm and the egg cell(s) are where you start off from and those are your genes!
