Solution

The correct option is B Morgan
Thomas Hunt Morgan, who studied fruit flies, provided the first experimental verification of the chromosomal theory. Morgan discovered a mutation that affected fly eye color. The chromosomal 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.
