Proper Explanation of Sutton's great idea needed.

Sutton was the first to realize that the behavior of Mendel's hereditary units ("genes" in modern parlance) mapped perfectly on the way chromosomes behave during meiosis and fertilization - a truly great idea. The key piece of evidence was provided by his mentor, Wilson's, demonstration that the unequal sex chromosomes (now called X and Y) determined the sex of the offspring, but his own study of chromosomes during spermatogenesis provided additional support. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulhummerman (talk • contribs) 01:45, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

(This page may have mutated?...) Died at age 39, hardcoded age of death is 104 years.

I'm probably belaboring the point to add this, given that there are "upstream" categorization problems, but here goes:

Born April 5, 1877 / Utica, New York Died November 10, 1916 (age 104) / Kansas City, Kansas

..The view-source says,

<span class="noprint ForceAgeToShow"> (age 104) </span>

..which is different styling from another bio page that seems to have used real arithmetic. I'm not gonna touch it -- I'm afraid I'll send him over to "synchronized swimming" or "ski jumping"..

This definitely needs the intervention of a serious editor..... Cheers, User:Obl obl 07:44, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
