Question

In 1900 AD, three biologists independently rediscovered Mendel's principles. They were

• A. Sutton, Morgan and Bridges
• B. Bateson, Punnett and Bridges
• C. Avery, MacLeod and McCarty
• D. Hugo de Vries, Correns and Tschermak

Answer 1

The correct option is D Hugo de Vries, Correns and Tschermak

The profound significance of Mendel's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century (more than three decades later) with the independent rediscovery of these laws. Erich von Tschermak, Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns, and William Jasper Spillman independently verified several of Mendel's experimental findings, ushering in the modern age of genetics.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
