Solution (By Examveda Team)

The coupling and repulsion hypothesis was given by Bateson.
Bateson and Punnett in 1906, described a cross in sweat pea, where failure of gene pairs to assort independently was exhibited.
Bateson explained the lack of independent assortment through a hypothesis known as the coupling and repulsion hypothesis. Later on, coupling and repulsion were discovered to be two different aspects of linkage.
