Her fields of research were [[cytology]], [[genetics]] and [[embryology]]. She was one of nine children of [[Jacob Aall Bonnevie]]. Her family moved from Nidaros to [[Kristiania]] in 1886. Bonnevie started studying [[zoology]] in 1892, later switching to [[biology]]. She completed her doctoral [[dissertation]], «Undersøgelser over kimcellerne hos ''Enteroxenos østergreni''» [studies on the germ cells of ''Enteroxenos østergreni''] in 1906. She also studied under [[Arnold Lang]] in [[Zürich]] in the years 1898-99, under [[Theodor Boveri]] in [[Würzburg]] in 1900-01, and under [[E. B. Wilson]] at [[Columbia University]] in [[New York]] from 1906 to 1907. She succeeded [[Johan Hjort]] as leader of the Zootomic laboratory in [[1900]]. She was a professor at [[Det Kongelige Frederiks Universitet]] from 1912 to 1937, and founded the Institute of inheritance research in 1916. In 1911, Bonnevie became the first female member of the [[Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters]]. Later, she founded the Norwegian association for female academics, leading it in the years 1922-1925. She established a study home for young girls in 1916 and a students' house in 1923. Her sister Honoria was the wife of [[Vilhelm Bjerknes]].
