Linkage was first suggested by Sutton and Boveri $(1902-1903)$ when they propounded the famous “chromosomal theory of inheritance.” Bateson and Punnett $(1906)$ while working on sweet pea found that the factors for certain characters do not show independent assortment.However, it was Morgan $(1910)$ who clearly proved and defined linkage on the basis of his breeding experiments in fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster).
