#Morgan's work is based on fruit flies which is named as drosophila melanogaster.

# He formulated the chromosomal theory of linkage.

# He defined linkage as the co-existence of two or more genes in the same chromosome.

# Performed dihybrid cross in drosophila to show that linked genes are inherited together and are located on
X- chromosome.

# T.H. Morgan experiment also proved that tightly linked genes show very less recombination , while loosely linked genes Show high recombination.
