Question
Write a brief note on the work of Walter Sutton and Theodore Boveri?
✓
Answer
Walter Sutton and Theodore Boveri noted that the behaviour of chromosomes was parallel to the behaviour of genes and used chromosome movement to explain Mendel's law. Sutton and Boveri argued that the pairing and separation of a pair of chromosomes would lead to the segregation of a pair of factors they carried and united the knowledge of chromosomal segregation with Mendel's principles and presented in the form of chromosomal theory of inheritance.
