A complementation test can be used to determinethe mode of inheritance of a mutant allelewhether a mutant allele has lost or gained function relative to a wild type allelewhether two individuals with recessive, single-gene mutations causing the same or similar phenotypeshave mutations in the same or different geneswhether a mutation is fully penetrantthe number of phenotypes that can be expressed by individuals with a particular genotype A male fish from a true-breeding fish line has the mutant phenotype of spiky fin. The male fish mates with a femalefish from another true-breeding spiky-fin fish line. Both spiky-fin phenotypes are inherited in an autosomal recessivemanner. You hypothesize that the mutation in the male fish is at a different locus than the mutation in the female fish.Which results would support this hypothesis?25% of the offspring have spiky fins.50% of the offspring have spiky fins.None of the offspring have spiky fins.O All of the offspring have spiky fins.75% of the offspring have spiky fins.IncorrectCrossing two mutant animals together will not yield a 50% ratio of any genotype. If the mutation in the male andfemale are in different genes, their offspring will be heterozygous for two different spiky mutations. Mutations complementwhen they are in different genes.XX
