Ennafol reddy is an autotrophic alga which can assimilate CO into sugar through the process of photosynthesis using a unique pigment called examtwophyll If provided with CO2 and light wild type Ennafol reddy can grow perfectly on minimal medium containing mineral micronutrients To understand the biosynthetic pathway of E reddy you screen mutagenized cultures for mutants with defects in the pathway You manage to isolate 9 such mutants which can all grow on minimal medium if it is supplemented with examtwophyll You conduct a complementation test by forcing the algae to go through a sexual reproductive cycle cross each of the mutants with all other mutants and test the ability of the F1 progeny to grow on minimal medium The results are show below 1 2 3 1 23 4 5 6 7 8 9 4 5 Group 1 encompasses mutant 1 Group 2 encompasses mutants 2 Group 3 encompasses mutants 3 Group 4 encompasses mutants 4 Group 5 encompasses mutant 5 I There are nine complementation groups 6 7 1 8 I 9 How many independent complementation groups can you identify and which mutants belong to them I
