Who was responsible for disproving the concept of linkage between hereditary factors?

Explanation

The idea of linkage between hereditary units was challenged and ultimately dismissed by W. Bateson and B.C. Punnett. Other scientists such as T.H. Morgan, G. Mendel, W.S. Sutton, K.R. Porter, C.B. Bridges, and G.H. Shull contributed to genetics, but it was Bateson and Punnett who notably refuted linkage.
