Correct Answer: 1879


Solution : The correct answer is 1879.

Walther Flemming initially came up with the name "chromatin" in 1879 to describe the component within the nucleus that absorbs specific nuclear stains when treated. Flemming developed a novel approach for staining salamander embryo cells using aniline dyes generated from coal tar.
