Answer

Cherry, coral, apricot, buff, and white, do not compliment each other. Vermilion, ruby, carnation, and garnet do.

Work Step by Step

Cherry, coral, apricot, buff, and white do not compliment each other because they are all from the same gene. Being that white related alleles compliment vermilion, ruby, carnation, and garnet, we know that they are of separate genes. In the event that the mutant flies mated their offspring would all have normal eyes, as each mutant defines a different gene.
