A mоuse geneticist cоnsiders five hоmozygous recessive mutаnt strаins of mice (1, 2, 3, 4 аnd 5). All show the same phenotype: pink eyes. Crosses were made using all possible pairs of the five mutants. The offspring phenotypes are shown below. ‘WT’ indicates wild type normal eye color and ‘M’ indicates mutant pink eyes. Based on these results, how many different genes were mutated in making these five lines?       Mouse 1 Mouse 2 Mouse 3 Mouse 4 Mouse 5 Mouse 1 M WT M M WT Mouse 2   M WT WT M Mouse 3     M M WT Mouse 4       M WT Mouse 5         M
