Linkage between a gene of interest and a DNA marker is being studied. A mating results in 6 parental and 3 recombinant offspring. What additional data would increase your confidence that the gene of interest and the DNA marker are linked? (Select all that apply.)

A) Analysis of another mating from the same pedigree that produced 4 parental and 4 recombinant offspring.
B) Analysis of a mating from a different pedigree that produced 4 parental and 4 recombinant offspring.
C) Analysis of a mating from a different pedigree that produced 6 parental and 2 recombinant offspring.
D) Analysis of another mating from the same pedigree that produced 6 parental and 2 recombinant offspring.
