Waldeyer
Chromosomes can be defined as thread-like structure which contains DNA and proteins which are found in the nucleus of most living cells.
They carry the genetic information in the form of genes.
The word chromosome is derived from the Greek word chroma meaning "colour" and soma meaning "body".
The term was coined by von Waldeyer-Hartz in relation to the term chromatin which was introduced by Walther Flemming.
So, the correct answer is 'Waldeyer'.
