(B) Sturtevant	(IV) Genetic maps
(C) Henking	(I) X-Body
(D) Griffith	(III) Transformation in bacteria

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (III), (D) - (II)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

(A) Sutton and Boveri

Sutton and Boveri are known for proposing the Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance, which states that chromosomes are the carriers of genetic information. Matching Discovery: (II) Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance

(B) Sturtevant

Sturtevant is known for creating the first genetic maps, which show the relative positions of genes on chromosomes. Matching Discovery: (IV) Genetic maps

(C) Henking

Henking discovered the X-body, which is now known as the X chromosome. Matching Discovery: (I) X-Body

(D) Griffith

Griffith is known for his discovery of transformation in bacteria, where genetic material from one bacterium can transform another bacterium. Matching Discovery: (III) Transformation in bacteria

Conclusion

The correct matching is:

• (A) - (II)
• (B) - (IV)
• (C) - (I)
• (D) - (III)

Therefore, the correct answer is (1) (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III).
