Identify the contribution of Walter Sutton and Theodore Boveri to the science of genetics and explain its importance. What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: Walter Sutton and Theodore Boveri independently proposed that because genes and
chromosomes behave in similar ways, genes must be located on chromosomes. This idea, the
chromosome theory of inheritance, is one of the foundations of modern genetics. We know
that each gene is located at a specific site—called a locus—on a chromosome, and each
chromosome carries many genes.
