In bacteriophage T4, all rIIA mutants are found to complement all rIIB mutants. However, rIIA mutants fail to complement other rIIA mutants, and rIIB mutants fail to complement other rIIB mutants

Furthermore, mutants with deletions that span both rIIA and rIIB complementation groups do not complement either A or B mutants. What do these data mean, and what do the complementation groups represent?
