In Drosophila, a cross between males expressing the three X-linked recessive traits, scute bristles (sc), sable body (s) and vermilion eyes (v) and wild type females. What progeny are expected? If you take a male and a female from this group and cross them you get the following results:

genotypes sex number
+ + + females 1000
sc s v males 314
+ + + males 280
+ s v males 150
sc + + males 156
sc + v males 46
+ s + males 30
sc s + males 10
+ + v males 14
