Question

Experimental verification of the chromosomal theory of inheritance was done by ______.

Options

• Sutton

• Boveri

• Morgan

• Mendel

Answer 1

Experimental verification of the chromosomal theory of inheritance was done by Morgan.

Explanation:

The chromosomal theory was first experimentally confirmed by Thomas Hunt Morgan, who researched fruit flies. Morgan found a mutation that changed the hue of a fly's eyes. According to the chromosomal theory of heredity, Mendel's rules of inheritance can be understood by looking at how chromosomes behave during meiosis and the exact places on chromosomes where genes can be identified.
