Question

What was the contribution of Theodore Boveri and Walter Sutton to Mendel’s work?

(a) Rediscovery of his work

(b) Challenging Mendel

(c) Reperforming Mendel’s experiments in lab conditions

(d) Chromosome movement correlation with Mendel’s predictions

I have been asked this question in final exam.

The above asked question is from Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance-1 in section Principles of Inheritance and Variation of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

Right option is (d) Chromosome movement correlation with Mendel’s predictions

The best I can explain: Theodore Boveri and Walter Sutton had unraveled the mechanisms underlying the chromosome movement during cell division. These movements were correlated with Mende’s laws.
