Keegan · Answer 1

The correct option is: b. in the different genes

Explanation:

In an organism, complementation is observed when the two strains with the different homozygous recessive mutations are mated or crossed to produce an offspring having wild-type phenotype.

Complementation is observed when the mutations are present in different genes.

Therefore, mutations are said to be complementary, if they are present in different genes.
