T. H. Morgan is considered the father of Linkage as he identified cases where he found that genes placed closely could be considered as Linked genes and this process is called as Linkage. These linked genes don't get separated during the process of gamete formation.
Louis Pasteur performed the swan-necked flask experiment to disprove the theory of spontaneous generation.
