Question

One of the X chromosomes in a particular Drosophila female had a normal order of genes but carried recessive alleles of the genes for yellow body color (y), vermilion eye color (v), and forked bristles (f), as well as the dominant X-linked Bar eye mutation (B). Her other X chromosome carried the wild-type alleles of all four genes, but the region including y+, v+, and f+ (but not B+) was inverted with respect to the normal order of genes. This female was crossed to a wild- type male in the cross diagrammed her.

The cross produced the following male offspring:
