Want this question answered?
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.
he observed that grasshopper body cells and sex cells have the same number of chromosomes
genes
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

Walter Sutton studied giant chromosomes in grasshoppers.
The Sutton's observation about chromosomes number support the chromosomes theory of inheritance because according to Sutton each sex cell had half the number of chromosomes as a body cell, which means that the offspring gets one allele from pair from each parent.

Genes are located on chromosomes
Genes are located on chromosomes
He studied grasshoppers, well the number of chromosomes in a grasshopper. grasshoppers contain about 24 chromosomes.
Heredity
Walter Sutton was a U.S. geneticist who provided the first evidence that chromosomes carry the units of inheritance and occurs in distinct pairs.
