Solution
The correct option is A Boveri and Sutton
- Boveri and Sutton's chromosome theory of inheritance states that genes are found at specific locations on chromosomes and that the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis can explain Mendel's laws of inheritance.
- Bateson and Punnet proposed the theory of linkage.
- Morgan worked on Drosophila and helped in proving that chromosome plays important role in inheritance.
- Prior to the work of Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty, the genetic material was thought to be a protein. They proved experimentally that DNA plays role in inheritance.
