The locus B on the X chromosome of a malaria-carrying mosquito shows a 49% recombination rate with respect to the locus
M. Since a recombination rate of 50% is essentially indistinguishable from independent assortment, you might be tempted to
look for a locus that falls between B and M. Before you decide to do all that work, you run a chi-square test to determine the
p value of your experiment. Which of the following p values would be most likely to tell you that you should accept the
conclusion that locus B and locus M are, indeed, 49 mu apart and that another locus is not necessary?

A.
p = 0.45

B.
p = 0.07

C.
p = 0.05

D.
p = 0.0007
