Answer 2

1.Aristotle: theory of Pangenesis (s***n formed everywhere on man's body and such reflects the characteristic of the body part where it was formed)

5.Gregor Mendel:FATHER OF GENETICS, demonstrated that appearance of different characters in heredity followed specific laws

6.Carl Correns, Erick Von Tschermack, Hugo de Vries:independently duplicated Mendel's work on plants, rediscoverers of Mendel

7.William Bateson, Saunders and Cuenot:showed that Mendel's principles also applied to animals

8.Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri:Chromosome theory of Inheritance (confirmed by discovery of s*x chromosomes)

9.Thomas Hunt Morgan and Calvin Bridges:association between specific genes and specific chromosomes, chromosome contained many genes

10.Oswald Avery, Collin Macleod and Maclyn McCarty:identified DNA as the hereditary material

11.James Watson and Francis Crick:discovered molecular structure of DNA
