You develop an inbred strain of mice that display one of two distinct syndromes. What evidence might lead you to believe that these mice are mutant for a gene or genes affected by imprinting?

In Neurospora, the mutant stp exhibits erratic stop-and start growth. When a female of stp strain is crossed with a normal strain acting as a male, all progeny individuals' showed stp mutant phenotype. However, the reciprocal cross resulted in all normal progeny, individuals. These results can be explained on the basis of

A. Uniparental gene contribution

B. Nuclear inheritance with concept of dominance

C. Sex link character

D. stp mutation may be located in chloroplast DNA

The most appropriate statement or combination of the above statements for explaining the experimental results is:
