The chromosome theory of inheritance is credited to papers by Walter Sutton in 1902 [5] and 1903, [6] as well as to independent work by Theodor Boveri during roughly the same period. [7] Boveri was studying sea urchins, in which he found that all the chromosomes had to be present for proper embryonic development to take place. [8]

In 1907, he described, for the first time, the additional or supernumerary chromosomes, now called B-chromosomes. The same year he became a foreign member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. [9] Wilson published many papers on embryology, and served as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1913.
1903: Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri independently hypothesizes that chromosomes, which segregate in a Mendelian fashion, are hereditary units; [6] see the chromosome theory. Boveri was studying sea urchins when he found that all the chromosomes in the sea urchins had to be present for proper embryonic development to take place.
With the newly discovered genetic information found in the skin samples, the researchers were able to determine for the first time that the woolly mammoth had 28 pairs of chromosomes, just like ...
Nettie Maria Stevens (July 7, 1861 – May 4, 1912) [1] was an American geneticist who discovered sex chromosomes. In 1905, soon after the rediscovery of Mendel's paper on genetics in 1900, she observed that male mealworms produced two kinds of sperm, one with a large chromosome and one with a small chromosome. When the sperm with the large ...
Thomas Hunt Morgan discovered sex linked inheritance of the white eyed mutation in the fruit fly Drosophila in 1910, implying the gene was on the sex chromosome. In 1910, Thomas Hunt Morgan showed that genes reside on specific chromosomes. He later showed that genes occupy specific locations on the chromosome.
Hermann Paul August Otto Henking (16 June 1858 – 28 April 1942) [1] was a German cytologist who discovered the X chromosome in 1890 or 1891. The work was the result of a study in Leipzig of the testicles of the firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus), during which Henking noticed that one chromosome did not take part in meiosis.
