Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mutations within a complementation group do not complement each other because they affect the same gene, leading to the same mutant phenotype. This means that when two mutations are in the same gene, they cannot provide what the other lacks to restore the wild-type function, indicating they are part of the same complementation group.
