Question

Identify the wrong match:

• A. Law of dominance - Mendel
• B. Chromosomal theory of inheritance - Sutton and Boveri
• C. Experimental proof for chromosomal theory of inheritance - Morgan
• D. Genetic maps - Punnett

Hint:

Remember: Alfred Sturtevant mapped the genes!

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: The task.
We must find the wrong match between a genetics idea and the scientist linked to it.

Step 2: Check Mendel.
Mendel gave the Law of Dominance along with his other laws. This match is correct.

Step 3: Check Sutton and Boveri.
They proposed the Chromosomal theory of inheritance, joining Mendel's factors with chromosome behaviour. This match is correct.

Step 4: Check Morgan.
Morgan worked on the fruit fly Drosophila and gave the experimental proof for the chromosomal theory. This match is correct too.

Step 5: Check the genetic map.
The first genetic map was made by Alfred Sturtevant, a student of Morgan. Punnett is famous for the Punnett square, not genetic maps. So this last match is wrong.

Step 6: Conclusion.
The wrong match is "Genetic maps - Punnett". \[ \boxed{\text{Genetic maps - Punnett}} \]
