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.

Thomas Hunt Morgan, who studied fruit flies, provided the first strong confirmation of the chromosome theory.

Morgan discovered a mutation that affected fly eye color. He observed that the mutation was inherited differently by male and female flies.

Based on the inheritance pattern, Morgan concluded that the eye color gene must be located on the X chromosome..

Mendelian laws of inheritance are statements about the way certain characteristics are transmitted from one generation to another in an organism. The laws were derived by the Austrian monk Gregor Mendel (1822–1884) based on experiments he conducted in the period from about 1857 to 1865. For his experiments, Mendel used ordinary pea plants. Among the traits that Mendel studied were the color of a plant's flowers, their location on the plant, the shape and color of pea pods, the shape and color of seeds, and the length of plant stems.
