How do Suttons observations about chromosome numbers support the chromosomes theory of inheritance?

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.


What is Chromosomal Theory?

The chromosomal theory of inheritance states that genes are located on chromosomes and that the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis and fertilization accounts for inheritance patterns. This theory was proposed by Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri in the early 20th century and provided a unifying explanation for Mendel's laws of inheritance.


What is the chromosome theory of inheritance?

(Was it really necessary to answer eleven times?) Chromosome theory is a principle of genetics. Known as the chromosome theory of inheritance, the principle is that all chromosomes are carriers of genetic material that pass from one generation to the next.The theory of inheritance was proposed independently by WALTER SUTTON and THEODORE BOVERIi) Since the sperm and egg cells provides the only bridge from one generation to another, all hereditary characters must be carried in themii) The hereditary factors are carried in the nucleusiii) Like the Mendelian alleles , chromosomes are also found in pairs.

Does the inheritance theory suggests genes are located on chromosomes in exact locations?

Yes, the inheritance theory suggests that genes are located on chromosomes in specific locations called loci. Genes are segments of DNA that provide the instructions for building proteins and controlling various traits, and their precise positions on chromosomes can impact inheritance patterns.


Do you all start out being female?

This is the theory because all femle ova have female chromosomes.. Sperm have male and female chromosomes. If the sperm containing female chromosomes then nothing changes during fertilization. If male chromosomes, then changes take place to cause the cells to produce a male. There is scientific theory that this may be a cause of homosexuality in that the changes do not occur as expected. But this is only theory. --- They don't necessariy start as female, but they do have female organs. It is the presence of chemicals (due to Y chromosome) that forms the male organs from the female organs later on.
