Answer:

Variegation is inherited only from the female parent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Only the egg cell contributes cytoplasm with chloroplasts to the embryo. That’s how it got inherited.

A variegated leaf has white patches. The patches occur where chlorophyll is missing from the chloroplasts in some of the cells. Chloroplasts have their own DNA, and are inherited from one parent only.
