After results of their dihybrid cross experiments showed that the F1 generation did not follow Mendel’s ratio, which three scientists hypothesized that there may be a connection between certain genes, naming these linked genes?
William Bateson, Edith Rebecca Saunders, and Reginald Punnett
Which Dutch botanist and geneticist launched a plant-breeding program studying the role of mutation in evolution and came up with the same results as Mendel?
