The Boveri–Sutton chromosome theory(also known as the chromosome theory of inheritance or the Sutton–Boveri theory) is a fundamental unifying theory of genetics which identifieschromosomes as the carriers of genetic material.[1][2][3] It correctly explains the mechanism underlying the laws ofMendelian inheritance by identifying chromosomes with the paired factors(particles) required by Mendel's laws. It also states that chromosomes are linear structures with genes located at specific sites called loci along them.[2]It states simply that chromosomes, which are seen in all dividing cells and pass from one generation to the next, are the basis for all genetic inheritance. Over a period of time random mutation creates changes in the DNA sequence of a gene. Genes are located on chromosomes.

Answer:
Explanation:Boveri and Sutton's chromosome theory of inheritance states that genes are found at specific locations on chromosomes, and that the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis can explain Mendel's laws of inheritance
