Chronological Arrangement

The correct sequence is based on the approximate time of their key work in the field of genetics:

Scientist	Contribution	Approximate Time Frame	Sequence
(B) Gregor Mendel	Discovery of the basic laws of inheritance (Mendelism) through pea plant experiments.	1856–1863 (Published in 1865)	1st
(D) Sutton and Boveri	Independently proposed the Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance, linking Mendel's "factors" to chromosome behavior during meiosis.	1902–1903	2nd
(C) Thomas Hunt Morgan	Provided experimental proof for the Chromosomal Theory using Drosophila (fruit flies), discovering sex-linked inheritance.	Started around 1910	3rd
(A) Alfred Sturtevant	A student in Morgan's lab, he created the first gene map by using recombination frequencies to determine the linear arrangement of genes on a chromosome.	1913	4th
