A)that produce the same phenotype.
B)that are in the same gene and complement each other.

E)in two different genes that do not complement each other.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Complementation occurs when mutations in different genes can complement each other to produce a wild-type phenotype. If mutations are in the same gene, they cannot complement each other, as they affect the same pathway or gene function. Therefore, option C is the correct choice as a complementation group refers to mutations in the same gene that do not complement each other.
