Evolution of the clicker question

This question is anatomy subject matter related.

#1.)  Knowing what you do about sexual reproduction in humans, can you sensibly reason that mitochondrial DNA from the offspring is maternal only?

A.  No.  Since each of the gametes is haploid, exactly half of the contribution comes from the male and half comes from the female so it does not make sense for an organism’s mitochondrial DNA to be maternal only.

B.  No.  It is a well known fact that sperm contain many mitochondria to help in the journey to reach the egg.  It would be more sensible to assume that the mitochondrial DNA from the offspring is paternal only.

C.  Yes.  The egg is produced fully prepared and capable of providing everything needed for the developing zygote, including all organelles and a food store, and only requires a male contribution of DNA.

D.  Yes.  Since the egg is so much larger in physical size relative to the sperm and fewer are produced every month relative to sperm, it would make sense that the egg contained the organelles for the developing zygote and eventual fetus.   

E.  I don’t know

Evolution:

With this question, I was hoping to elicit some common misconceptions.  From what I know about teaching this material, students do not know a lot about sexual reproduction, and the little they do know is very superficial.  Asking them a “why” question laced with plausible distractors is more difficult and would hopefully result in great discussion.

This question was pretty much the same from the beginning until now.  The only thing I changed was the amount of answer on choice D.  Originally, choice D only had the word "yes" as an answer.  I added in information to help make the question more difficult to solve, as now choice D is a more plausible alternative.  However, choice C is the most correct.
