Encyclopedia : T : TH : THE : Theodor Boveri


Theodor Heinrich Boveri (October 12, 1862October 15, 1915) was a German biologist whose work with sea urchins showed that it was necessary to have all chromosomes present in order for proper embryonic development to take place. His other discovery was the centrosome (1888), which he described as the 'especial organ of cell division.'
