Question

Who proposed the chromosomal theory of inheritance? Point out any two similarities in the behaviour of chromosomes and genes.

Answer 1

Sutton and Boveri

1. Both factors/ genes and chromosomes occur in pairs in normal diploid cells.

2. Both of them segregate/ separate during game to genesis and enter different gametes, i.e., one member of an allelic pair enters one gamete and the other enters another gamete.
