These observations led to two of Dr. Morgan's unimpeachable genetic discoveries: 1) Lying in the rodlike chromosomes of the germ cells, like links of sausage, are ultramicroscopic units (genes) which transmit individual characteristics (say, brown eyes) from parent to child. 2) When the chromosomes of the two parents mingle in the egg (which ultimately becomes their child), the genes do not mix helter-skelter but "cross over" in groups. That is why, for example, in Drosophila, black body color tends to be inherited with purple eyes, vestigial wings, and a speck at the base of the wings...
