Which best describes the Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance? a. The theory was proposed by Charles Darwin. It describes the units of inheritance between parents and offspring as well as the processes by which those units control offspring development. b. The theory was proposed by Boveri-Sutton. It describes linkage, recombination, and crossing over and states that Mendelian genes have specific loci on chromosomes, which undergo segregation and independent assortment. c. The theory was proposed by Charles Darwin. It states the Mendelian genes have two alternate forms and undergo independent assortment. It helped increase understanding of linkage and recombination. d. The theory was proposed by Boveri-Sutton. It describes the units of inheritance between parents and offspring as well as the processes by which those units control development in offspring.
