The chromosome theory of inheritance is credited to papers by Walter Sutton in 1902 and 1903, as well as to independent work by Theodor Boveri during roughly the same period. Boveri was studying sea urchins, in which he found that all the chromosomes had to be present for proper embryonic development to take place.
Feb 1, 2008 · In the spring of 1889, during his second visit to the Marine Zoological Station in Naples, Theodor Boveri performed a set of experiments with sea urchin eggs designed to address what he perceived as the fundamental question of biology: is the character of the developing embryo determined by nuclear chromosomal factors or by cytoplasmic factors?

May 17, 2018 · Boveri, inspired by the work of Van Beneden, began to carry out his own studies on the eggs of Ascaris in 1885; preliminary reports began to appear in print in 1886 and 1887, and three of his exhaustive cell studies ( Zellenstudien ), dealing with Ascaris development, appeared in 1887, 1888, and 1890.
During this period, German embryologist Theodor Boveri took Flemming's findings to the next level by providing the first evidence that chromosomes of germ cell lineage provide continuity...
Theodor Boveri investigated the mechanisms of heredity. He developed the chromosomal theory of inheritance and the idea of chromosomal individuality. Boveri sought to provide a comprehensive explanation for the hereditary role and behavior of chromosomes.
Boveri accurately described the formation of the polar bodies following meiosis in the egg cell, and made pioneering studies of sperm formation (spermatogenesis), introducing a diagrammatic representation of the process (1892), which is still in use today.
