Solution
The correct option is A Alfred Sturtevant
Alfred H Sturtevant, one of Morgans students, used the frequency of recombination or percentage of crossing over between gene pairs on the same chromosome as a measure of the distance between genes and mapped their position on the chromosome. This technique is based on the assumption that the farther apart two genes are on a chromosome, the higher the probability that a cross over will occur between them.
