Which statements are not true regarding chromosome theory of inheritance?

i) It was proposed by Sutton and Boveri

ii) No similarity between genes and chromosomes during inheritance

iii) Both chromosomes as well as genes occur in pairs in the somatic or diploid cells.

iv) A gamete contains only one chromosome of a type and only one of the two alleles of a character

v) The paired condition of both chromosomes as well as Mendelian factors is restored during fertilization.

The statement that is not true regarding the chromosome theory of inheritance is:

ii) No similarity between genes and chromosomes during inheritance

This statement is not true. The chromosome theory of inheritance proposes that genes are located on chromosomes and that the behavior of chromosomes during cell division and fertilization explains the inheritance patterns of genes. In other words, there is a direct relationship and similarity between genes and chromosomes during inheritance. Genes are specific segments of DNA located on chromosomes, and their segregation and assortment during meiosis and fertilization are fundamental to the principles of inheritance.
