In Drosophila the genes forked bristles (f and f+) and vermilion eyes (v and v+) are ~24 m.u.  apart on the X chromosome.  From a cross of f v / f+ v+ females with f v / y males, what % of the progeny do you expect to  have the f+ v+ phenotypes? (Don’t let the X chromosome throw you off – this question is  essentially asking what % of the female’s gametes will be f+ v+).
