The Fruit Fly Cross Shown Here Analyzes the Transmission of Two

The fruit fly cross shown here analyzes the transmission of two genes in the X chromosome. The male parent has mutant alleles for both the white gene (w^-) and the crossveinless gene (cv^-) . The female parent has nonmutant forms of these genes (w⁺ and cw⁺) . Use the figure below to answer the following question: In the parental generation, the genotype of the female parent is _____, and the genotype of the male parent is _____.

A) w^-cv^-/w^-cv^-; w^-cv^-/Y
B) w⁺cv⁺/w⁺cv⁺; w⁺cv^- Y
C) w^-cv^-w⁺cv⁺; w^-cv⁺/Y
D) w⁺cv⁺/w⁺cv⁺; w^-cv^-/Y
E) w⁺cv⁺/w^-cv^-; w^-cv^-/Y
