The answer is: from mother

In a human diploid somatic cell (2n), there are<span> in total 46 chromosomes</span> - 22 autosomal chromosomes present in two copies and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. This means there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. In males, there is one X and one Y chromosome (XY) while in females, there are two XX chromosomes (XY).
During the formation of gametes, a female could give only X chromosomes, so gametes from the mother contain one X chromosome. But, a male could give X or Y chromosome, so gametes from the father contain either X or Y chromosome.
Female gamete and male gamete fuse to form a zygote. Male zygote must contain both X and Y chromosome. It inherits Y chromosome only from the father, so X chromosome must be inherited from the mother.

The reason for this trend is that plants require sunlight, water, and temperatures warm enough to grow. This is true even in aquatic ecosystems, where sunlight and the availability of nutrients determine the level of net primary productivity.</span>
