उत्तर
Chromosomal theory of inheritance was proposed by Sutton and Boveri. Following are the postulates of the chromosomal theory of inheritance:
- Chromosomes are found in pairs in somatic or diploid cells.
- During gamete formation, homologous chromosomes pair, segregate and assort independently at meiosis. Due to this, each gamete contains only one chromosome of a pair.
- Hereditary characters are carried by chromosomes which are present in the nucleus of these gametes.
- Gametes (sperm and egg) contain all the hereditary characters. They form the link between parents and offsprings.
- The union of sperm and egg during fertilization restores the diploid number of chromosomes.
