What did Walter Sutton observe?
he observed that grasshopper body cells and sex cells have the same number of chromosomes
What did Sutton observe about the relative numbers of chromosomes in the body cells and sex cells of grasshoppers?
body cells of a grasshopper has 24 chromosomes and 12 chromosomes in the sex cells so as many body cell chromosomes you have you will have half that number of chromosomes in your sex cells.
How do Sutton's observations about chromosome support the chromosome theory of inheritance?
Sutton's theory is that chromosomes have something to do with the inheritance of traits of their parents. His observation is that grass hoppers have 24 chromosomes but their sex cells only have 12
When was the plant cell discovered?
Cells were discovered by Robert Hooke in 1663, who observed cells in tree bark.
What obstacles did Gregor Mendel face?
Matthias Schleiden discovered plant living cells and his obstacles were to become famous from discovered cells.
Walter Sutton discovered that the sex cells of grasshoppers have?
half of the number of chromosomes found in the body cells i studi this for science im very good in this stupid^^
What experiments did William Sutton do on grasshoppers?
I believe it was Walter Sutton..He was an American scientist who was the first to provide proof that chromosomes contained the cells units of inheritance. Walter Sutton became the first scientist to provide evidence that chromosomes carried the cells units of inheritance. While he studied grasshopper cells, Sutton observed that chromosomes occurred in distinct pairs, and that during meiosis(form of cell division) the chromosome pairs split, and each chromosome goes to its own cell. In 1903, Sutton discovered that chromosomes contained genes and that their behavior during meiosis was random, concepts that later provided the basis for the Chromosomal Theory of Hereditary.
What did Walter sutton investigate?

Who was Walter Sutton?
Walter Stanborough Sutton was an American geneticist. He discovered that an organism has half the number of chromosomes in sex cells that it has in its body cells. A geneticist is a branch in science about the difference in living organisms. Sutton was born in Utica, New York on April 5, 1877. At age ten, Sutton moved with his family to Russell County, Kansas, where he attended public schools. He studied engineering at the University of Kansas, beginning in 1896. After his younger brother's death from typhoid in 1897, he made an essential change in the course of his education that would eventually lead him to the study of medicine and to his discoveries in genetics. He received Bachelor and Master degrees from the University of Kansas. Sutton then attended Columbia University and obtained the highest university degree, in medicine in 1907. He died on November 10, 1916. Sutton's name will always be associated with that of Theodor Boveri. They are jointly credited with having proposed, independently in 1902, the chromosome theory of inheritance.
What did Sutton investigated?

What did Walter flemming discover?
Penicillin..used for bacteria infections...
Do grasshoppers sex cells have half the number of chromosomes as body cells?
Yes.
How many chromosomes are there in a grasshoppers body cells?
I don't know man, I'm looking for the same response myself.
