Question

Experimental verification of chromosome theory of inheritance was done by

• A. Sutton and Boveri
• B. Morgan et al.
• C. Sturtevant
• D. Correns

Hint:

Remember: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} &\text{Sutton and Boveri} &&\rightarrow \text{Chromosome theory proposed} &\text{Morgan et al.} &&\rightarrow \text{Experimental verification} \end{aligned} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall the chromosome theory of inheritance. The chromosome theory of inheritance was proposed by \[ \boxed{\text{Sutton and Boveri}.} \]

Step 2: Recall its experimental verification. The theory was experimentally verified by \[ \boxed{\text{Thomas Hunt Morgan and his co-workers}} \] through experiments on Drosophila melanogaster. These studies established that genes are located on chromosomes.

Step 3: Choose the correct option. Hence, the correct option is \[ \boxed{(B).} \]
