Nettie Maria Stevens was an American geneticist and one of the first scientists to discover the role of chromosomes in determining sex. In the early 1900s, she conducted pioneering research on the mealworm and identified that the presence of specific chromosomes (X and Y) determined male and female characteristics. Stevens' work laid the groundwork for modern genetics and contributed significantly to our understanding of heredity and sex determination. She is often celebrated as a trailblazer for women in science.
