A researcher mutagenized a group of butterflies and isolated

A researcher mutagenized a group of butterflies and isolated six butterflies with extra long bodies Each butterfly has a recessive mutation in only one gene The researcher performed a complementation test using the six butterflies and got the following results where is wild type body and is extra long body 1 2 3 4 LO 5 6 1 01 I 02 03 L 2 1 3 I 4 1 5 Part 1 If the line 3 butterflies are crossed with the line 5 butterflies and they produce all extra long bodies what do you conclude about the butterflies produced from a cross between lines 1 and 5 6 O Half of the offspring would have wild type bodies and half of the offspring would have extra long bodies O None of the offspring would be mutant extra long O All offspring would be mutant extra long O More information is needed to answer this question I Part 2 Given the information provided how many genes are defined among these five mutant strains of butterflies
