Q

discovered alkaptonuria

A

Archibald Garrod (1902)

21
Q

hypothesized that the genes are located in chromosomes due to their behavior during meiosis

A

Walter Sutton (1902)

22
Q

coined the term gene

this means that if two genes are present, a certain gene will make the expression of the other one
