Answer» 1. German biologist, Henking in 1891, was studying spermatogenesis of the squash bug (Anasa tristis). 2. He noted that 50% of sperms receive the unpaired chromosomes while other 50% sperms do not receive it. 3. Henking gave a name to this structure as the X-body. He was unable to explain its role in sex determination. 4. Further investigations by other scientists led to conclusion that the ‘Xbody’ of Henking was a chromosome and gave the name as X-Chromosome to X-body. |
