Alfred Sturtevant was a prominent geneticist known for creating the first genetic map of a chromosome in the early 20th century. He discovered that genes are arranged in a linear order on chromosomes and developed a method to determine their relative distances based on recombination frequencies during meiosis. His work laid the groundwork for modern genetics and helped establish the field of cytogenetics. Sturtevant's contributions significantly advanced the understanding of heredity and gene linkage.
