Frequency of recombination between gene pairs on the same chromosome as a measure of the distance between genes to map their position on chromosome, was used for the first time by
Thomas Hunt Morgan
Sutton and Boveri
Alfred Sturtevant
Henking
To solve this problem, we need to identify who first used the frequency of recombination between gene pairs on the same chromosome as a measure of the distance between genes to map their position on the chromosome.Let's analyze the options:Option 1: Thomas Hunt Morgan - He was a pioneering geneticist who discovered the role of chromosomes in heredity, but he did not develop the concept of using recombination frequency for gene mapping.Option 2: Sutton and Boveri - They are known for the chromosome theory of inheritance, which linked chromosomes to Mendelian inheritance, but not for gene mapping using recombination frequencies.Option 3: Alfred Sturtevant - He was a student of Thomas Hunt Morgan and was the first to use recombination frequencies to create a genetic map of a chromosome.Option 4: Henking - He is known for discovering the X chromosome, but not for gene mapping.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3: Alfred Sturtevant.
