(2) The two alleles of a gene pair are located on homologous site on homologous chromosomes.

(3) Experimental verification of chromosomal theory of Inheritance was done by T. H. Morgan et. Al.

(4) Morgan Chose Drosophila as an experimental animal because it has variations that can be seen with high power of microscope.
