The<unk>  is a disproved hypothesis that genes are arranged on the chromosome like<unk> s on a necklace. This<unk>  was first proposed by Thomas Hunt Morgan after discovering genes through his work with breeding red and white eyed fruit flies. According to this<unk> , the existence of a gene as a unit of inheritance is recognized through its mutant alleles. A mutant allele affects a single phenotypic character, maps to one chromosome locus, gives a mutant phenotype when paired and shows a Mendelian ratio when intercrossed. Several tenets of the<unk>  are worth emphasizing :- 1. The gene is viewed as a fundamental unit of structure, indivisible by crossing over. Crossing over take place between genes ( the<unk> s in this model ) but never within them. 2. The gene is viewed as the fundamental unit of change or mutation. It changes in toto from one allelic form into another; there are no smaller components within it that can change. 3. The gene is viewed as the fundamental unit of function ( although the precise function of gene is not specified in this model ). Parts of a gene, if they exist cannot function. Guido Pontecorvo continued to work under the basis of this<unk>  until Seymour Benzer showed in the 1950s that the<unk>  was not correct. He demonstrated that a gene can be defined as a unit of function. A gene can be subdivided into a linear array of sites that are mutable and that can be recombined. The smallest units of mutation and recombination are now known to be correlated with single nucleotide pairs.
