... Dissociator caused the chromosomes to break and effected neighbouring genes when the activator was present. Later, in 1948, she found that Ds and Ac could transpose on the chromosome. By changing the colouration of the kernels over each generation, by using controlled crosses, she concluded that Ac ...
