Solution
The correct option is B Sutton and Boveri Mendel performed hybridisation experiments with pea plants and suggested that factors are discrete units passed from parents to offspring. They contain the information that is required to express a particular trait in an organism.
Sutton and Boveri noted that the behaviour of chromosomes during cell division was similar to behaviour of factors and put forward the chromosomal theory of inheritance.
Correns and Hugo de Vries rediscovered Mendel’s work independently.
