Solution
The correct option is C Carl Correns
Gregor Mendel was the founder of modern genetics. He performed experiments of on pea plant and established many rules of heredity, now referred to as the laws of Mendelian inheritance.
Hugo de Vries gave the concept of genes, rediscovered laws of heredity, introduced the term mutation and gave the mutation theory of evolution.
Carl Correns is known for his independent discovery of the principles of heredity and also discovered non-mendelian inheritance like cytoplasmic inheritance or cytoplasmic inheritance.
Tschermark developed several new disease-resistant crops. Along with Vries and Correns, he discovered Gregor's work.
