Explanation / Answer

The correct option is A maternal effect is likely when the phenotype of the offspring is determined not by the mothers phenotype or its own genotype, but by the mothers genotype.

A maternal effect is determined by the environment and genotype of mother. It occurs when an organism shows the phenotype expected from the genotype of the mother, often due to the mother supplying mRNA or proteins to the egg. It is also caused by the maternal environment independent of genotype.
