Who proposed that chromosomes carried a different set of heritable elements?

Question

Q. Who proposed the chromosomes theory of inheritance?

Answer 1

Theodor Boveri proposed that chromosomes carried a different set of heritable elements.

This theory was proposed while conducting experiments on round worm species Ascaris megacephalon.

Later Mendel conducted experiments on pea plant and stated that genes are responsible for the transfer of characters from parents to offsprings.

Hence Mendel is considered as Father of genetics.

Hence the correct answer is 'Theodor Boveri'
