complementation test please help me fill out the table whether it is waxy or not
Mutant genes cer1 through cer 7 are isolated from a mutant screen in affecting cuticle formation in the flowering plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. A number of complementation tests are conducted, crossing each of the mutants with the other. The phenotype (no wax-mutant or waxy-wildtype) is reported in the table below. a) How many complementation groups are suggested by this data? Which cer mutants are found in which groups? (5 points) b) Not all of the crosses were completed, but some can be predicted based on the correct complementation groups. For those crosses where it can be determined, predict the phenotype of the \( F 1 \). (5 points) c) For the crosses that were not completed and the outcome cannot be predicted, list these crosses. How would the number complementation groups change with these crosses completed? (4 points)
