  56. Functional complementation was analyzed by drop test. Drop test consists in spreading serial dilutions of liquid yeast cultures on solid media supplemented with metals. You always have a control medium without metals. At the top, positive and negative controls : -Wild type able to grow -Sensitive mutant unable to grow And you have your complemented mutants to test. Here, they show a better development than the negative control mutant.
