• A. Robert Hook
• B. Theodor Boveri
• C. Walter Sutton
• D. Walther Flemming

Answer 1

The correct option is D Walther Flemming

Walther Flemming was the first German scientist who studied the chromosomes in animal cells.
He observed rapidly dividing cells of salamander under the microscope and observed thin thread-like structures that appeared to divide lengthwise. He was the first to observe and describe systematically the behaviour of chromosomes in the cell nucleus during normal cell division (mitosis).
