Walter Sutton used grasshoppers to test chromosomes and hereditary. He discovered that chromosomes come in pairs, one set from the mother and one from the father, and that these pairs split up during meiosis.
Walter Sutton discovered that grasshopper sex cells, or gametes, contain half the number of chromosomes found in their somatic cells. This finding was significant in illustrating the concept of meiosis, where chromosomes are halved during the formation of sex cells. Sutton's work laid the groundwork for understanding the chromosomal basis of inheritance and contributed to the development of the chromosomal theory of inheritance.
Grasshoppers, especially baby grasshoppers eat plants that they can digest easily, like clover or grass. Grasshoppers do not eat other insects, they only eat plants.
No, grasshoppers lay eggs at the end of the summer and the adults die.
Grasshoppers have two mandibles. These are the insect's mouthparts that are used for biting and chewing food.
Food Chain: Grasshoppers-> Bird Bird-> Humans Grasshoppers-> Bird Bird-> Felines, Canines
Walter Sutton discovered that sex cells of grasshoppers have a consistent number of chromosomes, and that these chromosomes form pairs during cell division. This finding led to the understanding that chromosomes are responsible for passing on hereditary information.
Walter Sutton studied chromosomes to understand their role in heredity. He discovered that chromosomes carry genes, which are the units of heredity responsible for passing on traits from parents to offspring. Sutton's work helped establish the chromosome theory of inheritance.
Walter Sutton investigated grasshoppers, specifically focusing on the species Melanoplus during his studies on genetics in the early 20th century. His work involved examining the behavior of chromosomes during cell division, which contributed to the understanding of inheritance. Sutton's research laid the foundation for the chromosomal theory of inheritance, linking Mendelian genetics to physical structures within cells.
half of the number of chromosomes found in the body cells i studi this for science im very good in this stupid^^
Walter Sutton was born on 1877-04-05.
Walter Sutton died on 1916-11-10.
He studied grasshoppers, well the number of chromosomes in a grasshopper. grasshoppers contain about 24 chromosomes.
cancer
sex cells.

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.
Genes are located on chromosomes
