The **Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance** (1903) was proposed by:

  4. Watson and Crick
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Sutton and Boveri

Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri (independently, 1903) noted parallel behaviour of Mendel's 'factors' and chromosomes during meiosis — and proposed chromosomes carry the hereditary material. Mendel's work itself was rediscovered in 1900 by de Vries, Correns, von Tschermak.
