Question
The chromosome theory of inheritance states that: a. chromosomes assort independently during meiosis b. genes occupy specific positions on chromosomes c. homologous chromosomes segregate from each other during meiosis d. All options are correct
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The chromosome theory of inheritance, developed by Sutton and Boveri, states that genes are located on chromosomes, that chromosomes segregate (separate) during meiosis, and that they assort independently. This theory unifies Mendelian genetics with chromosome behavior.
