    One of the parents of a cross has mutation in its mitochondria. In that cross, that parent is taken as a male. During segregation of\[{{F}_{2}}\] progenies that mutation is found in

    A)  one-third of the progenies

    B)  none of the progenies

    C)  all of the progenies

    D)  fifty percent of the progenies.
