description Thomas Hunt Morgan Overview
Thomas Hunt Morgan was an American evolutionary biologist and geneticist whose work with the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, provided the experimental evidence for the chromosomal theory of inheritance. By identifying sex-linked traits and genetic linkage, he and his students mapped the location of genes on chromosomes. His work transformed genetics from a theoretical field into an experimental science. Morgan's contributions earned him the Nobel Prize and established the fruit fly as the premier model organism for genetic research, a status it maintains in laboratories around the world today.
