   What did Thomas Hunt Morgan discover?

   • Prize share: 1/1 By conducting statistical studies of the way genetic traits are passed on in fruit flies, Thomas Hunt Morgan broke new ground in genetics during the first decade of the 20th century. His work confirmed that genes are stored in chromosomes inside cell nuclei.

   Was Morgan about to confirm the chromosome theory of inheritance?

   • Morgan had recently denounced the newly proposed chromosome theory of inheritance as a hyper-reductionist, limited explanation for the transmission of such a vast and complex variety of traits. Little did Morgan know that, with this white-eyed fly, he was about to confirm the chromosome theory.

   Did Morgan know that a white-eyed fly was about to confirm chromosome theory?

   • Little did Morgan know that, with this white-eyed fly, he was about to confirm the chromosome theory. In doing so, Morgan would also be the first person to definitively link the inheritance of a specific trait with a particular chromosome. Figure 1: Columbia University Fly Room.

   Thomas Hunt Morgan was an American zoologist and geneticist, famous for his experimental research with the fruit fly (Drosophila) by which he established the chromosome theory of heredity. He showed that genes are linked in a series on chromosomes and are responsible for identifiable, hereditary.

   DeVries claimed that if a gene changed — if it “mutated” — it would create a new species in a single jump. But no one could say for sure what mutations did until they could be studied up close. That became possible in the laboratory of a Columbia University biologist, Thomas Hunt Morgan (left).
