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⁺). A cross between siblings of the F₁generation-a red-eyed, crossveined female and a red-eyed, crossveined male-generates F₂ progeny. Examine the genotype of the F₂ male progeny. Notice that the progeny fall into two groups. Refer to the figure below when answering the following question. The group represented by a large proportion of the progeny, deriving from maternal gametes containing alleles present in the same combinations as found in the mother's X chromosomes, is called the _____ group.
