Question

the chromosomal theory of inheritance

Answer 1

The Boveri–Sutton chromosome theory (also known as the chromosome theory of inheritance or the Sutton–Boveri theory) is a fundamental unifying theory of geneticswhich identifies chromosomes as the carriers of genetic material.[1][2][3] It correctly explains the mechanism underlying the laws of Mendelian 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]
