| Answer» B. W. L. Johanssen | |
|
Explanation: Wilhelm Johannsen was a Danish botanist, plant physiologist and geneticist. His most well-known research concerned so-calledpure lines of the self-fertile common bean. He was able to show that even in populations homozygous for all traits, i.e. without genetic variation, seed size followed a normal distribution. This was attributable to resource provision to the mother plant and to the position of seeds in pods and of pods on the plant. |
