What type of gametes did Sutton predict? Mendel? (parental, recombinant, both) Solution 1. According to Mendel’s law of segregation : 2 . The Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance (Theodor Boveri and Walter Sutton --1903) was consistent with Mendel\'s laws and the basic postulates were: -----------------------These lead to the conclusion that both Sutton and Mendel predicted parental types of gametes because in case of parental type , gametes are produced in equal proportion but recombinant type produces gametes in unequal proportions. Besides this , In 1911, after observing that linked traits could on occasion be inherited separately, Thomas Hunt Morgan suggested that \"crossovers\" can occur between linked genes and crossover is the prime reason for recombination.
