Cyanotic is the term used to describe the colour of the child's skin in the documentation of failure to collect a specimen.

Cyanosis is characterized by a shift in the colour of human tissues to a bluish-purple tone. This colour change occurs as a consequence of reduced levels of oxygen being attached to the haemoglobin in the RBCs of the capillary bed. The lips, mucous membranes, nail beds, and ear lobes are among the most common areas on the body to exhibit cyanosis as these areas have thinner layers of skin than other parts of the body. In addition to cyanosis, a bluish discolouration of the skin tissue can be caused due to the consumption of food products with blue or purple dyes.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The correct answer is- Nirenberg and Heinrich, 1961.

Explanation:

Experiments by Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Matthaei in 1961, began to decipher genetic codes and state about the 64 triplet codons in the genetic code by using mRNA from DNA to translate into specific amino acids in our biological system.

Their experiment helps to decode or crack the code of DNA by establishing the first codon out of 64 triplet codes which are  UUU codes for phenylalanine. In the future, the same approach is used to find other amino acids.
