The gene for haemophilia is present on $X$-chromosome. $A$ male has only one $X$-chromosome which he receives from his mother and $Y$-chromosome from father. The human male passes the $\mathrm{X}$ chromosome to his daughters but not to the male progeny (son).

A pure breeding Drosophila having long wings and broad abdomen is crossed with a pure breeding vestigeal-winged and narrow-abdomened Drosophila. Two of the $F_1$ individuals were crossed and the following results were produced in the $F_2$ generation Long wing, broad abdomen in $482$ Drosophila. Vestigeal wing, narrow abdomen in $154$ Drosophila. Which one of the following is illustrated by these results
