The complementation test is used to determine if two recessive mutations are in the same or different genes. In this test, two individuals with different homozygous recessive mutations are crossed. If the offspring have a wild-type phenotype, the mutations are in different genes (complementation); if the offspring have a mutant phenotype, the mutations are in the same gene (non-complementation). The other options (A, B, and C) are not relevant to determining whether mutations are in the same gene.
