چکیده
Alfred Henry Sturtevant studied heredity in fruit flies in the US throughout the twentieth century. From 1910 to 1928, Sturtevant worked in Thomas Hunt Morgan?s research lab in New York City, New York. Sturtevant, Morgan, and other researchers established that chromosomes play a role in the inheritance of traits. In 1913, as an undergraduate, Sturtevant created one of the earliest genetic maps of a fruit fly chromosome, which showed the relative positions of genes [4] along the chromosome. At the California Institute of Technology [5] in Pasadena, California, he later created one of the first fate maps [6], which tracks embryonic cells throughout their development into an adult organism. Sturtevant?s contributions helped scientists explain genetic and cellular processes that affect early organismal development.

متن کامل"The linear arrangement of six sex-linked factors in drosophila, as shown by their mode of association? (1913), by Alfred Henry Sturtevant
In 1913, Alfred Henry Sturtevant published the results of experiments in which he showed how genes [4] are arranged along a chromosome. Sturtevant performed those experiments as an undergraduate at Columbia University [5], in New York, New York, under the guidance of Nobel laureate Thomas Hunt Morgan [6]. Sturtevant studied heredity using Drosophila [7], the common fruit fly. In his experiments...

W HEN SEWALL WRIGHT wrote a recommendation for H. J. MULLER in the late 1930s, he described MULLER as perhaps the greatest living geneticist. WRIGHT later expressed this evaluation in conversation on many occasions. But when it came to the relationships among genetics, evolution and systematics, WRIGHT’S clear candidate for honors in the MORGAN group was A. H. STURTEVANT. From his student days ...
