Walter Sutton hypothesized that chromosomes are the carriers of genetic material, proposing that genes are located on chromosomes and that these structures are responsible for heredity. His work in the early 20th century laid the foundation for the chromosomal theory of inheritance, which states that genes are inherited through the segregation and independent assortment of chromosomes during cell division. Sutton's ideas were pivotal in linking Mendelian genetics with cellular Biology.
