To determine whether the mutations in the seven strains leading to the wingless phenotype are in the same gene, your lab sets up complementation tests. You obtain the following results ("+" indicates that complementation was observed; "-" indicates that no complementation was observed). How many different genes are contributing to the wingless phenotype in theses mutant fly strains?
