Question

Drosophila mutation cross (What will the F1 generation look like?

Cy+=normal wings
Cy = curly wings
Pm+= red eyes
Pm = plum eyes
D+= normal wings
D = diachaete wings
Sb+= normal bristles
Sb = stubble (bristles)

Mutations:
1 Curly-Curly wings, homozygous lethal
2 Plum-purplish eyes, homozygous lethal
3 Dichaete -winds divergent, homozygouslethal
4 Stubble-bristles short and thick, homozygous lethal

Cross a Cinnabar brown: eye white virgin mutant female to a curly winged,plum eyed, dichaete wing,stubble bristled male. (P generation).
What will their offspring (the F1 generation) look like after the above is crossed?
