What type of test would you use to determine whether observed data constitute evidence of genetic linkage or are simply a case of chance variation from expected values?
A)test cross
B)two-point test cross
C)three-point test cross
D)chi-square analysis
E)recombination frequency (r)calculation

A chi-square analysis can determine whether the observed deviations from expected ratios are statistically significant and suggest genetic linkage between the observed traits. This helps to rule out random chance occurrence of the observed data. The other options (A, B, C, and E) are techniques used to determine linkage, but they do not directly address the issue of chance variation.
