Answer 1

Three botanists, working independently during the 1900s, rediscovered Mendel's findings. They were Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns and Erich von Tschermak.

Sutton and Boveri proposed the chromosomal theory of inheritance.

The experimental proof for the chromosomal theory of inheritance was given by Morgan. His experimental material was fruit fly.
