A. Chromoomal theory of inheritance-Sutton Boveri

B. Multifactor hypothesis-NilssonEhle

C. One gene one enzyme hypothesis-Muller

D. Pureline theory-Johannsen

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

a. Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri are credited with developing the Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance, which states that chromosomes carry the unit of heredity.
b. Nilsson Ehle proposed a multifactor hypothesis that is to explain quantitative variation by assuming the interaction of a large number of genes (polygenes) each with a small additive effect on the character.
c. The one gene-one enzyme hypothesis concept was proposed by George Beadle and Edward Tatum in an influential 1941 paper. It means that genes act through the production of enzymes, with each gene responsible for producing a single enzyme that in turn affects a single step in a metabolic pathway.
d. Wilhelm Johannsen proposed his pure line theory and the genotype/phenotype distinction, a work that is prized as one of the most important founding contributions to genetics and Mendelian plant breeding.
