Solution
The correct option is D Alfred Sturtevant
Mendel is considered the father of genetics as he proposed the principles of inheritance.
The chromosomal theory of inheritance was given by Sutton and Boveri.
It states that the chromosomes are the carriers of genes and the behaviour of chromosomes during meiosis can be used to explain Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Morgan gave the experimental verification of the chromosomal theory of inheritance.
Alfred Sturtevant was a student of Morgan and he used recombination frequency as the measure of distance between genes to map their location on the chromosome. Higher the recombination frequency, higher the distance between the genes.
