The Correct Option is A

Approach Solution - 1

To solve the problem of matching List-I with List-II based on the information provided, follow these scientific connections:

List-I (Scientists)List-II (Discovery)
(A) Sutton and Boveri(II) Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance
(B) Sturtevant(IV) Genetic maps
(C) Henking(I) X-Body
(D) Griffith(III) Transformation in bacteria

Explanation: 

  • Sutton and Boveri: Discovered the Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance, which correlates chromosomes to hereditary traits.
  • Sturtevant: Known for creating genetic maps, a crucial advancement in understanding gene locations on chromosomes.
  • Henking: Discovered the X-body, identified as the X chromosome, a significant contribution to genetics.
  • Griffith: Conducted experiments proving bacterial transformation, showing that bacteria could change forms through transferring genetic material.

Thus, the matching option is: (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III).

Approach Solution -2

(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).
