| A. Gregor J Mendel |
ii. Laws of inheritance |
| B. Sutton and Boveri |
i. Chromosomal theory of inheritance |
| C. Henking |
iv. Discovered X- body |

iii. Drosophila |
A.Gregor J Mendel → ii. Laws of inheritance
Gregor Mendel is known as the "Father of Genetics." He discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance, which include the principles of segregation and independent assortment, through his experiments with pea plants.
B. Sutton and Boveri → i. Chromosomal theory of inheritance
- Sutton and Boveri independently formulated the chromosomal theory of inheritance, which proposed that genes are located on chromosomes and that the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis explains inheritance patterns.
C. Henking → iv. Discovered X-body
- Henking is credited with the discovery of the X-body, later identified as the X chromosome, in male insects. This discovery contributed to the understanding of sex determination.
D. Morgan → iii. Drosophila
- Thomas Hunt Morgan used the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, in his genetic experiments and demonstrated that genes are located on chromosomes. His work confirmed the chromosomal theory of inheritance and contributed to the field of genetics.
