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.
