Matthias schleiden and theodor schwann proposed the cell theory, all organisms are composed of cells and cells arise from cells. Sutton proposed genes are on chromosomes (1902) gilbert and sanger developed dna sequencing techniques (1977) diploid (humans are 46) cells contain chromosomes in homologous pairs. Classical/transmission genetics - examines the principles of heredity. Molecular genetics - deals with the gene and the cellular processes by which genetic information is transferred and expressed.
