The correct option is B

bateson


William Bateson, in 1905, coined the term 'Genetics' from the word gene. Mendel is called 'Father of Genetics', but he did not coin the term 'genetics'. Hermann Joseph Muller was an American geneticist who worked on mutation. Morgan was American evolutionary biologist, geneticist, embryologist, and he discovered the role of chromosomes in heredity.
