The flies all carry a mutation in the same wing-development gene.

Each strain may have a different mutation but overall the same gene is mutated in the strains.

This is true about flies that belong to the same complementation group:

They all have some mutation in the same wing-development gene.

Each strain may have a different mutation, but the same gene is mutated in all strains in a complementation group.
