Sutton and Boveri proposed the chromosomal theory of inheritance around 1902-1903, establishing that chromosomes are the carriers of genetic material. Mendel discovered inheritance laws earlier but didn't know about chromosomes. Morgan later demonstrated chromosomes' role with fruit fly experiments.
