Lou, a researcher, is examining two different fireflies, and each firefly is homozygous for a mutation that is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Lou has discovered that the two fireflies both show defects in flying. Lou would like to determine if both fireflies have mutations in the same or different genes, so he mates the two fireflies together. The resulting offspring all can fly normally. What would this result suggest? Select all that apply. Group of answer choices A) The two parent fireflies contain mutations in different genes B) The two parent fireflies contain mutations in the same gene C) This is an example of complementation D) This is an example of the failure to complement
