If only 100 progeny had been counted and the same proportion observed, how would the p value and the conclusion drawn about linkage change?
A)The p value would increase, and the likelihood of linkage increases.
B)The p value would decrease, and the likelihood of linkage increases.
C)Neither the p value nor the likelihood of linkage would change.
D)The p value would decrease, and the likelihood of linkage decreases.
