Title: How many genes are affecting the phenotype in a complementation analysis? Post by: Moso13 on Apr 17, 2017 I'm studying for an exam and trying to figure out this question but I keep getting confused. So this is in drosphila, legs are either elongated( wild-type) or crumpled/ gnarled (mutant). Its asking how many genes affect the leg phenotype. So i thought for this one you would look at where it is a - on the table( for malformed legs). so its saying the answer is that there are 3(#1 and #4, #2, #3, and #5. The 1 and 4 are on the first row. But I'm showing those are the places where are are minus signs but the key is saying that there are only 3 genes. I'm confused. Can someone explain to me how to find how may genes are affected?

Could you post the question word for word? I was guessing 2 genes, but it's best I found i read the native question.

I was guessing 2 genes, but it's best I found i read the native question. I'll try to write out the table on here. Tell me if it doesn't make sense 1 2 3 4 5 1 - + + - + 2 - + + + 3 - + - 4 - + 5 - It is asking how many genes affect the leg phenotype. It says the answer is 3, but I don't understand why.

You could also take a screenshot and upload it.
