The scientific community made a number of remarkable discoveries that revolutionized our

understanding of the beginnings of life at the start of the 20th century. The microscope is one of
history's most important inventions. Scientists have found the architecture of cells, nuclei, and
chromosomes. They additionally know how chromosomes travel during cell division (Neela
Bakore Tutorials, 2016). Around this time, Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri, two scientists,
began their was arouThe physical unit of heredity is a gene. In 1865, the founder of genetics,
Gregor Johann Mendel, presented his research on how qualities are passed down via factors
(genes) from parents to their offspring in dominant and recessive patterns, independent of other
features (Openstax, 2012).
Because Mendel gave specific facts and the world—especially biologists—was not ready to
embrace anything based on his study given that he was a well-known mathematician, his work
went unacknowledged. The following year, Darwin presented his hypothesis on The Origin of
Species at that moment as well. Mendel referred to DNA as "factors," but his findings were not
backed by any tangible proof, another factor in his work not receiving much attention.

After a long period of, then this time that Walter Su ourselves. We were also able to
comprehend that the genetics father's outstanding job had been acknowledged, and Theodor
Boveri, two scientists, started their own independent research after studying Mendel's work.
Both of these scientists found that embryos can't develop sans chromosomes and that
chromosome separation happens during meiosis by utilizing several animals to analyze the
activity of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. The chromosomal theory of heredity was
established in 1902 because of these results, and it clarified and justified Mendel's work from
several angles.

The chromosomal hypothesis of heredity had an effect on the world and one valued. Since
scientists now have physical models of how cells divide and the movements of chromosomes in
which genes are present, they can better understand how genes are passed from generation to
generation to the next. This is why the chromosomal theory of inheritance was created (Neela
Bakore Tutorials, 2016).
