Chromosomal Theory:-
Define the chromosome theory of inheritance as “genes are located on chromosomes”
Use phenotypic ratios to determine if genes are sex-linked
Predict possible offspring types and phenotypic ratios in the case of sex linkage
Apply pedigree analysis to distinguish between dominant, recessive, and sex-linked traits
Define linkage as departure from independent assortment
Chromosomal Theory of inheritance:-
The Chromosome Theory of Inheritance!
Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance
Chromosomal theory of Inheritance came into existence long after Mendelian genetics. During Mendel’s experimentation, the society was not acceptable to such drastic changes in their scientific ideas. They could not believe the existence of such discrete factors such as genes which would segregate without mixing as this did not support their idea of the constant changes leading to evolution. Moreover, the means of communication was poor at that time as a result of which, the information could not be conveyed to the masses.
Also, Mendel’s mathematical approach to prove biological laws was unacceptable. As time passed, scientists Vries, Correns and Tschermak discovered chromosomes which existed inside the nucleus. Sutton and Boveri discovered observed the behavior of the chromosomes when the cells divided.
With the advancements in microscopy, this task became easier. They proved Mendel’s laws with the help of chromosomal movement. They showed the segregation of the chromosomes during the Anaphase of cell division. The idea of chromosomal segregation combined with the Mendelian principles gave rise to the chromosomal theory of Inheritance. The work was further .
carried forward and proved by T.H. Morgan, who used Drosophila melanogaster to show how sexual reproduction gave rise to variations.
After the discovery of Mendel’s laws of inheritance, scientists turned naturally to the problems of mechanics of the processes they observed.
A pair of papers by Sutton as early as 1902 and 1903 (only two and three years, respectively, after the rediscovery of Mendel’s landmark papers initiated the modem age of genetics) clearly pointed the way to a physical basis for the science of heredity. The chromosomal theory of inheritance was proposed independently by Sutton and Boveri in 1902.
Sutton was a graduate student of Wilson at Columbia University and is credited for demonstrating a parallel between meiotic behaviour of paired chromosomes and the behaviour of pairs of Mendelian factors. He could explain Mendel’s principle of segregation on cytological basis.
