Performing a complementation test through cotransduction using mutant phage genomes created by X-ray mutagenesis (mutants a-e),as well as ones created by chemical mutagenesis using EMS (mutants 1-5),you get the following results:
$$\begin{array} { l l l l l l }
& 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \
a & - & + & + & - & - \
b & - & + & - & - & - \
c & + & + & - & - & + \
d & + & - & + & + & - \
e & - & - & + & + & -
\end{array}$$
Explain this data.
