I gave my students this multiple choice question: Which sentence describes a characteristic of offspring produced by sexual reproduction?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- The offspring have half the amount of genetic material as the parents.
- The offspring contain genetic material from both parents.
- The female offspring contain only genes from the mother.
- The male offspring contain only genes from the father.

Could you tell me which one is correct?
