He discovered that grasshoppers only have half the number of chromosomes in the body cells.
Heredity
he observed that grasshopper body cells and sex cells have the same number of chromosomes
Walter Sutton conducted experiments in the early 20th century to study the inheritance of traits in fruit flies. He specifically focused on the role of chromosomes in determining these traits. Sutton's experiments provided evidence for the chromosome theory of inheritance, which proposed that genetic information is carried on chromosomes and is passed from parents to offspring during reproduction.

Walter Sutton discovered the connection between chromosomes and heredity. He proposed that genes are located on chromosomes and that it is the chromosomes that segregate and assort independently during meiosis, leading to the inheritance of traits. This laid the groundwork for the chromosome theory of inheritance.

Walter Sutton studied giant chromosomes in grasshoppers.
He discovered that grasshoppers only have half the number of chromosomes in the body cells.
Walter Sutton used grasshoppers to test chromosomes and hereditary. He discovered that chromosomes come in pairs, one set from the mother and one from the father, and that these pairs split up during meiosis.
Heredity
half of the number of chromosomes found in the body cells i studi this for science im very good in this stupid^^
Walter Sutton was a U.S. geneticist who provided the first evidence that chromosomes carry the units of inheritance and occurs in distinct pairs.
Walter Sutton, an American geneticist, in 1903.
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.
