1. complementation

   Complementation refers to a process, situation or principle in which one entity completes, enhances, or brings perfection to another. This term is used in different fields such as genetics, linguistics, and logic, often with slightly different meanings. In genetics, for instance, it refers to the phenomenon where two different strains of an organism contribute to compensate for each other's genetic deficiencies. In linguistics, it refers to the relationship between a verb and a clause that follows it. In logic and mathematics, complementation is the operation of selecting everything that is not selected by a given operation.

1. Complementation

   In genetics, complementation occurs when two strains of an organism with different homozygous recessive mutations that produce the same phenotype produce offspring with the wild-type phenotype when mated or crossed. Complementation will occur only if the mutations are in different genes. In this case, each strain's genome supplies the wild-type allele to "complement" the mutated allele of the other strain's genome. Since the mutations are recessive, the offspring will display the wild-type phenotype. A complementation test can be used to test whether the mutations in two strains are in different genes. Complementation will not occur if the mutations are in the same gene. The convenience and essence of this test is that the mutations that produce a phenotype can be assigned to different genes without the exact knowledge of what the gene product is doing on a molecular level. The complementation test was developed by American geneticist Edward B. Lewis. If the combination of two genomes containing different recessive mutations yields a mutant phenotype, then there are three possibilities: ⁕Mutations occur in the same gene.
