[genetics] In genetics, complementation occurs when two strains of an organism with different homozygous recessive mutations that produce the same phenotype (for example, a change in wing structure in flies) produce offspring with the wild-type phenotype when mated or crossed. Complementation will occur only if the mutations are in differen...
