Question

Boveri conducted studies related to chromosomal theory of inheritance on

• A. Drosophila
• B. Sea urchin
• C. Grasshoppers
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Sea urchin

The chromosomal theory of inheritance proposed by Mendel has been supported by Sutton and Boveri. Boveri conducted experiments on the sea urchins. He discovered that it is necessary for the chromosomes to be present in the organism for normal development. The embryonic development of the organisms was studied by Boveri and concluded that the genes on the chromosomes are necessary.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
