NEET · Biology · STD 12 - 4. principal of inheritance and variation
Frequency of recombination between gene pairs on same chromosome as a measure of the distance between genes to map their position on chromosome, was used for the first time by
- A Henking
- B Thomas Hunt Morgan
- C Sutton and Boveri
- D Alfred Sturtevant
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Alfred Sturtevant
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Alfred Sturtevant used the frequency of recombination between gene pairs on the same chromosome as a measure of the distance between genes and 'mapped' their position on the chromosome. Sutton and Boveri proposed chromosomal theory of inheritance. Henking discovered \(X-\)chromosome.
