Boveri and Sutton's chromosome theory of inheritance states that genes are found at specific locations on chromosomes, and that the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis can explain Mendel’s laws of inheritance.​ Thomas Hunt Morgan, who studied fruit flies, provided the first.

Gloria, a society heiress who later launched a fashion empire built on designer jeans, was born on February 20, to Gloria Morgan and Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt, great-grandson of the famous railroad tycoon. Reginald was a heavy drinker and gambler who was 24 years older than the teenage Gloria Morgan.

By the time Reginald died from cirrhosis of the liver, he had blown through his money and racked up lots of debt. His month-old daughter Gloria stood to inherit part of a family trust fund when she reached age 21, but until then, she and her mother would live on interest payments. Over the next several years, Gloria Morgan lived in opulent style on those payments. The Swiss-born socialite went back to Europe, where her twin sister lived as mistress to Edward, Prince of Wales.

Gloria Morgan moved in the same royal circles and briefly became engaged to the German prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg. When her daughter got tonsillitis, she took Gloria back to the U. This is where things started to come to a head. The mother returned to New York City and tried to get her daughter back, but Gertrude objected on the grounds that she was an unfit mother.

Morgan was very thrifty when it came to purchasing laboratory equipment and supplies — but, according to Sturtevant, generous in providing financial help to his students. At the start of the work hand lenses were used. Only later did Bridges introduce stereoscopic microscopes. Bridges also devised a standard agar-based culture medium.

Prior to that, flies were simply reared on bananas. In addition, Bridges built the basic collection of mutant stocks, mapped virtually all of the genes and later, at Caltech, drew the definitive maps of the salivary gland chromosomes.

His enormous research output may in part be attributed to his being a staff member of the Carnegie Foundation with consequent freedom from teaching and other academic obligations. Fortunately, he persevered and found the white-eyed fly 1. This led to his discovery of sex-linked inheritance and soon with the discovery of a second sex-linked mutant, rudimentary, he discovered crossing over.

Sturtevant ref. In a conversation with Morgan in about the spatial relations of genes in the nucleus, Sturtevant, who was still an undergraduate, realized that the sex-linked factors might be arranged in a linear order. He writes that he went home and spent the night constructing a genetic map based on five sex-linked mutations that by then had been discovered.

In Bridges and Sturtevant identified and mapped two groups of autosomal not sex-linked factors and a third such group was identified by Muller in The four linkage groups correlated nicely with the four pairs of chromosomes that Drosophila was known to possess.

Chromosomal Theory and Genetic Linkage

Proof that this correlation was not accidental came when Bridges used the results of irregular segregation of the sex chromosomes or non-disjunction to provide an elegant proof that the chromosomes are indeed the bearers of the hereditary factors or genes as they are now known. Bridges published this proof in in the first paper of volume I of the journal Genetics. Thus, Sturtevant describes how after explaining some puzzling results to Morgan, Morgan replied that it sounded like an inversion 2.

Sturtevant went on to provide critical evidence, purely from breeding results, that inversions do occur; it was only later that inversions were observed cytologically. It seems clear that Morgan was not only a stimulating person but one who recognized good students, gave them freedom and space to work, and inspired them to make the leaps of imagination that are so important in advancing science. Morgan was invited by the astronomer, G.

Hale had conceived the idea of creating Caltech some years earlier and had already recruited R. Millikan Nobel Laureate in Physics, and A. Noyes to head the Physics and Chemistry Divisions, respectively. Morgan accepted and came to Caltech in He brought with him Sturtevant, who came as a full professor, Bridges, and T. Dobzhansky, who later became a full professor. In addition to Sturtevant and Dobzhansky, the genetics faculty consisted of E.

Anderson and S. Schultz, who like Bridges was a staff member of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, participated in the teaching of an advanced laboratory course in genetics. During this second period, many geneticists visited the Biology Division for varying periods of time.

Those from foreign countries included D. Catcheside, B. Ephrussi, K. Mather, and J. Monod Nobel Laureate.

Visiting professors included Muller and L. Morgan was well known outside of the scientific community and attracted interesting people. Professor Norman Horowitz, who was a graduate student in the Biology Division during this period, tells me that he remembers Morgan giving a tour of the Biology Division to the well-known author, H. Goodstein ref. Such assistance was essential at that time, since Caltech is a private institution and received no support from the state or the federal government. In the latter half of this period, Morgan returned to his interest in marine organisms and did not follow the newer developments in genetics.

Instead it was largely Sturtevant who carried on the Morgan legacy as far as genetics was concerned. Sturtevant also allowed his graduate students considerable freedom to choose their thesis projects and to consult with him on those projects or indeed on any matter. I was fortunate to have been one such student, commencing in Sturtevant told us that the award of the Nobel Prize to Morgan in was an important factor in elevating the prestige and status of the Biology Division at the Institute.

At the time, the only other Nobel Laureate at Caltech was Millikan.
