Molecular Events And Molecular Biology Flashcards
Published a paper on mutations
1901- Hugo de vries
Demonstrated that chromosomes exist in pairs that are structurally similar.
1902- Walter Stanborough Suton
Proved that sperm and egg cells have
one of each pair of chromosomes.
1903 - Sutton
Genes are located in chromosome;
Discovered X and Y chromosomes, sex-
linked traits and crossing -over.
1908 - THOMAS HUNT MORGAN
W/ ALFRED H. STURTEVANT
Poposed that each portion of a
chromosome that controls a phenotype be
called a “gene”.
1909 - Wilhelm Ludvig Johannsen
Began constructing a chromosome
map for Drisophila
1913 - Alfred Henry Sturtevant
EXPERIMENTED WITH DROSOPHILA TO
CREATE MORE MUTANT FLIES.

Discovered that genes control the
production of enzymes.

Announced that is the
substance responsible for heredity.
