Question

Chromosome maps / Genetic maps were first prepared by:

Hint:

Remember the timeline: Mendel → Bateson/Punnett → Sutton/Boveri → Morgan → Sturtevant.
Genetic mapping → Sturtevant.
Chromosome theory → Sutton & Boveri.

Answer 1

1. Sturtevant constructed the first genetic linkage map using Drosophila melanogaster.
2. Sutton and Boveri → chromosome theory, Morgan → experimental genetics, Bateson & Punnett → early Mendelian work.
3. Correct answer is (2) Sturtevant.
