A female Drosophila with the mutant phenotype 'notched wings' was mated to a wild type male. Two-thirds of the progeny were female. Half of the females had notched wings and the other half had wild type wings and all the male progeny had wild type wings. When the notched progeny were mated to their wild type brothers, the same results were obtained. Explain.
