Gregor J. Mendel

T.H. Morgan

Alfred Sturtevant

Sutton Boveri

Solution:

Correct option is C. Alfred Sturtevant. Alfred Sturtevant explained that the frequency of recombination between gene pairs on the same chromosome is a measure of the distance between the genes. The distance between the genes is inversely proportional to the frequency of recombination. So, the correct answer is 'Alfred Sturtevant'.
